Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

I don't use Facebook, but I appreciate the tip. Perhaps they can go on ebay or something, it seems a shame for them to go to waste.

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

Yeah it all went south really fast when the MOT came back sadly. I wish I could fix it, but I'm on a super low wage and struggling with making ends meet lately. The main harness that plugs into the socket on the fuel pump assembly had a severe burn-through on the wiring, no idea how, but luckily it ...

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

Well it's not good news. The fuel pump wiring harness had completely burned itself out, and I'm amazed there wasn't a fire to be honest, so the unit had to be stripped and replaced with the appropriate parts. However, then it had an MOT test. It's not good reading. The car is going to require both f...

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

It's going to have to go to a garage then.
It's nearly 3 weeks off the road now and I'm running out of patience with it. It's been the most reliable car I've ever had until this ridiculous episode.

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

Another small update - just swapped all 4 plugs for known good used ones. No change.

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

OK, new ignition coil is in. Still no change. It continues to turn over and over like a champ, but I just cannot get it to fire. One thing I've noticed in the utter silence inside my car is that the fuel pump whirr when turning onto Accessory with the key seems to last between 4 and 5 seconds. Is th...

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

I'm not sure how to identify it - what different types are there? I have two keys, both with a fob each, the same on both. Three buttons, one is red for activating the alarm, one for locking and one for unlocking. I can upload a photo if needed. Car locks/unlocks just fine, and the keys are genuine ...

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

Well, I finally got my leads, after the parts store messing me about and making me wait an additional day.

I've just fitted the new leads, and the car is still not firing. So I'm buying a replacement coil tonight.

It's still not throwing any codes either. What on earth is wrong with my car?

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

Okay another update. I've spent some time going a bit deeper - camshaft sensor looks in fine condition, I examined it out of curiosity mainly. However I may have discovered the issue - I pulled the HT leads from the plugs again, and though they look to be in fine condition, I metered them on 2k Ohms...

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

I've just heard back from Mike, who had an answer for me very quickly- the BCM is not faulty, all connections are perfect. I must admit it didn't look as though there had been any water ingress but it was better to rule it out. So back to the drawing board. Once the module arrives back here, he has ...

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

OK so a genuine Hyundai sensor installed, still no change at all. The car just continues to turn over and over but will not fire. So it can't be the crank sensor that's failed. The key icon remains lit while the key is in Accessory mode (both position 1 and 2) but on turning the engine over it quick...

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

That sounds like a good solution, I appreciate the info - I've been so busy with work this week, but I will certainly check. Last time I went to start it, the key-inside-car icon was solid, not flashing, and went off after attempting start (I guess that means it's ok). I'll bear it in mind however, ...

Do you mean when I turn the key to accessory only, or when I turn it all the way to crank?

Thanks Lordy, I appreciate the help a lot. It's really foxed me. I do have a semi-decent scan tool, but the car isn't throwing any codes.

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

Yes, the yellow key-inside-car symbol does pop up, and disappears when cranking. I'm hoping that means it isn't an immobiliser problem? I'm praying it isn't the BCM, is there anyway to visually inspect it without pulling it from the car? On a side note, I've noticed there is no spark from the plugs ...

Re: No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

Update - I've replaced the Crank sensor with an aftermarket item, same part number as mine, different manufacturer. No joy. Exactly the same issue, the car turns over and over and over but will not fire.

Any suggestions?

No-Start Condition - 2009 SIII

Hello all, I hope you've had a better Easter than I did. The car is a 2009 SIII, and it has developed a no-start condition. I can hear the fuel pump whirr, the starter turns over, the battery has plenty of power, but it will not fire. Initially it would start but would sit at ridiculously low revs (...

Re: Identifying Rear Stabiliser Bushes for SIII Coupes

Excellent info here people, thank you. I'll certainly have to double check the bar width. The string trick sounds like a good shout. I've had the Strut Mounts replaced already, which was last year, and also have gone through 3 sets of links so far. I think they're just something I'm gonna have to ke...

Re: Identifying Rear Stabiliser Bushes for SIII Coupes

Thank you for the info, appreciate it. I'm hoping that what has been suggested is the case, and the older type have been used erroneously. I heard that there is a difference in the width of the stabiliser bar itself between models, 17mm or 22mm, is this correct?
Sorry for all the questions...

Identifying Rear Stabiliser Bushes for SIII Coupes

First up, I have a 2009 Coupe SIII 2.0. The ever-present knock/rattle/clunk from the rear is back. I currently have PU rear stabiliser bushes but the roads where I live are awful, and I'm pretty sure the extra firmness is destroying my drop links every 3 months. So I've bitten the bullet and gone to...
