Zzz my car won't start. Um I'm assuming I have to do diagnostic code thing ? Im assuming it's starter motor? It doesn't even turn over (I had this issue with previous car) thank

Starter motor
Battery
Starter motor relay
Ignition barrel

Check voltmeter, loose battery terminals, different battery. Than assume starter motor.

I have a/m dials. And battery light shows green. Music and windows play/work fine oO

Lol is it in park if an auto..

Yes it is haha

Terminals still could be loose give em a wiggle

blown fuse?

Lol no need for scattergun approach.

So just got back from clubbing. Went to my car to try start... And here is the thing "it starts but there's no idle" - I can rev it but once I let go it dies and there's no idle sound that ud normally hear "e.g tappets" strictly just the revving.. Hmm stepper motor?

bring it round mine now and ill have a look if u can get it here.

wtf?

Have you tried turning it off and on again

yeah couple times, dont wanna eff it up anymore its parked at my mates out, gonna have a go with pulling stepper out and put my friends one in and see how i go

so i was gonna do the swap with the stepper, but i checked to see if it would run, and it did? so i drove it home rofl and the thing i noticed is the idle is veeeeeeeery low, like it looks like its sitting at 0, doesnt seem to struggle or anything, doesnt variate either, since iv driven it, the idle usually sits at the halfway mark, occasionally a little more, but this is the first time iv seen it at 0, a +1 to stepper??

i have the same problem right now, car wont even turn over, doesnt even crank. what did u ACTUALLY do to fix your problem?

i didnt do anything LOL i went back like a day or two after (when i had time) to go take the stepper out, and i just started it and it worked been fine since haha, in your case, if u can find it, get a pole and give a couple nudges to the starter motor, otherwise wait a day

Its 2 screws to get the stepper out, pop it out, undo the 2 screws on the actual unit, pop it apart, give everything a wipe, pop it back together, pop it back in.

Turn your Idle up? Clean Air filter? Do what matt said?

its my alternator haha killed my batt
