honmusa:

why suspecting distribution again when u have earlier stated that you have a spark.
For the compression test ,where are you located??

pragmatistm:
Well there is a spark oo my brother.

Regarding the compression test, I'm based in Ilaro Ogun State.

Costee:
OP you have actually remained silent on error codes; have you scanned the car? I know the car has experienced some (transgender) surgery lately, has the data link connector (DLC) remained intact? Is the car tiny red security light on the left-hand side of the dash board which blinks constantly staying on or not when the car ignition is in the ON position? Try and disconnect the MAF harness connector to see whether the car would start or not.

pragmatistm:
OK sir. The DLC connector is intact. I will scan it and revert.

Will also check the blinking light as well.

Only thing is that the transgender issue will throw up many unnecessary codes. That's why I am not really inclined to scan it.

Costee:

Meaning the car is incapable of throwing necessary codes?

Costee:

Fine query. Saw that too. But I discern some diffidence in the OP that makes me take his evidence with a pinch of salt.

pragmatistm:
Sir, I have checked the security light with key on "ON". But the light remained off.

I also scanned the car and came up with the following codes:

1. 1777
2. 0729
3. 0745
4. 0740
5. 0744

Is there any relevance of these codes with the issue at hand sir?

Costee:

All are transmission codes--aberrant outcomes of the unholy alliance from the surgery. Does the security light blink with the key off? Have you tried disconnecting the MAF and starting the engine? If yes for the first, and the engine does not start after the second, then move to the compression test.

pragmatistm:
Yes for the first and no for the second question sir. But how is compression test performed and who does it sir?

Costee:

You'd have to ask your auto electricians there. I've already posted the specs required. honmusa does it, but he's in Lagos.

PS. Ask your guys to check all fuses and relays once again. I say this because if the NATS fuse, for example, goes bad the car will just as well refuse to start, no codes will be registered, the only indication will be the non-blinking of the security light when engine is off. So be sure to check all fuses and relays thoroughly.

At this point I guess I can only wish you good luck.

honmusa:
his kazeem has definitely ran out of idea and now want to be throwing parts !!!after the plugs ,he will ask next for change of ECU !! and if that one doesn't work ,he won't pick your call again !!!

pragmatistm:
Hahaha You too know their methods. The plug change didn't work actually.

But what area do yo suggest to check sir? Do you buy the idea of checking the timing belt sir?

Costee:

You really can be exasperating. You continue to be enamored of the romantic tales from your guys there. Timing belt! Where did you get that from? Your response to honmusa should be on arrangements toward conducting a compression pressure test.

pragmatistm:
Ok, sir. He was able to start the car about an hour ago but I wasn't there with him so I dont know how he did it. He called me that he had taken the car to his workshop. When I leave work I will be heading to his workshop.

Exponental:

What was the corrective measure he took?

Costee:

OP seems to have a knack of not concluding his threads.

like you noticed.

Maybe in dec he will open another thread

pragmatistm:
Oga costee no be so oo. I just don't have more info than the guy was able to start the car. He didn't reveal what he fixed so there's nothing I can update you with. That's why.

GAZZUZZ:

* spark
* fuel supply
* compression
* air supply
* all in the right order (timing)

What is missing?

pragmatistm:
Apart from buying the new plugs, I don't know what he did. I wasnt with him when he did it and I actually asked him but he refused to say it. Maybe it's a small thing and because he collected N1500 he doesn't want to reveal it.

GAZZUZZ:




with that labour charge, nothing was seriously wrong with ur vehicle, worst case scenario fuse or disconnected wire somewhere.
