Hi,
I posted a similar thread just now on Cisco's, but doing it here too just in-case anyone can help (I'm in a pickle!).....
I moved my K11 a short distance yesterday, and now it won't start. I thought that I had committed the usual sin of not letting it warm up enough, so I did the old take out the fuel pump fuse, crank her over till she fires .... but she didn't fire. I actually flattened the battery I tried so hard. Fuse in, fuse out, no starting. Even tried with a jump off another car. Nothing - cranks away, but no sign of life.
Anyway, I removed & recharged the battery over night. Today its the same story. I just noticed that the orange engine management light is not coming on at all when the key is put in, and it should as I recall. I believe this is the real culprit, but how to proceed? I've checked all fuses under the dash and under the hood (that I could find), but all are fine. I even tried the bent piece of wire trick on the ECU connector to see if that could coax any life out of the engine light - nothing. Hoping its just a fuse and not a dead ECU.... Could it be the key?
As ever, all advice very gratefully received.
Cheers,
Doug
