Car wont start!
In the 9 years I have had this car (on the road and off) it has never once had an issue starting, until today.
OK, wash time. Jumped in, Started fine for positioning in the driveway for washing. Floyd kicked in on the CD so happy days. Pre-wash, power wash and rinse, Snow foam (Bilt Hamber), 10-15 min soak, power wash off. All as usual.
Left for 30 mins, Jumped in. Started up. Re positioned in the driveway.
Whilst sat and idling and just before turning off, no Floyd, sound system off, battery warning on, airbag warning light on, ABS warning on, engine starts idling like a pig, electric windows moving but extremely slowly. HVAC still running although a bit haphazard. Hmmm water ingress!
Just about to turn off to investigate and the engine switched up to idle at approx 1200 rpm and running smooth, but no response to the peddle. Must be water
Turned off. Checked:
HVAC drain - Nope OK.
Checked passenger footwell, dry.
Checked below Botangs for any water seepage, none.
Relays and electrics in footwell all dry.
Checked battery (yes its a Yuasa) but came back healthy.
Checked engine and gearbox ECU, dry.
Tried starting up again and nothing
Not checked:
Fuses.
Junction box offside wheel area - could it be this? - Im in no inclination to be scrabbling under the car today.
Or any other suggestions please.
