Is200 Wont Start

[pjwarriorprincess]

I have an is200, had some welding done on it and in that process had to take off negative lead off the Battery...Everything a o.k. Following day, filled up the tank..and noticed the car was lacking power.....The engine light came on....

Next morning started the car but would not pick up....the engine turns and tries to fire but just wont start!

These are a list of things ive tried but have had no luck

* Ecu- Had reset

*Knock Sensors

*Fuel Injection

*Plugs all checked

*Compression

Some one please help

So your pretty sure it's not the Battery?

It's been pretty cold of late, and a Battery on it's way out will most likely fail.

may sound stupid but u didnt put diesel in by mistake?

[pjwarriorprincess]

Batterys fully charged and no i dint put in diesel..the cars been off the road for a month....

Can anyone recommend a professional who can do a diagnostic check witht the engine not running?

i asked because u said u filled up then started having probs

Sounds like duff fuel, maybe got water in it. Fuel also goes "off" if left for a while.

[pjwarriorprincess]

Just had a look and the engines being flooded....

wot do i do now?

[MacRS200]

Like I said in the post above your last one, probably duff fuel because your problems started when you filled up, its flooding because it won't burn.

Only way is to drain the tank and put in fuel you know is good, I would also take the spark plugs out and dry them off and try again. If you keep on trying with something that you know is not working you will be pumping raw petrol into the exhaust and will probably knacker the cat as well.

The cars started as we opened the petrol cap to release pressure. Was ok, warmed up no problem

Engine check light still on.Cars still flooding because its cold...

Anyone know which sensor could be related to that problem?

[pjwarriorprincess]

Might be worth changing your oil filter. Had same problem with a punto. I had just filled it up as well and thought i had put duff fuel in as suddenly started losing power and was a devil to start. Turned out to be a pin prick hole in the oil filter.

Might be worth a try.
