Engine Trouble, Work Tomorrow Help!

[rodge]

Hey gang. This is a bit of a weird one but ill give my best shot to explain. My altezza was running rough and was refusing to go above 5000rpm so I brought it to my local dealer who said one of the coil packs was shot so it was booked ion for a repair for tomorrow. In the meantime she was still starting ok and running fine but thats about it. I parked it up yesterday evening for a while after driving it for the day with no major issues other than those mentioned above. I went to start it last night and the following happened: car unlocked, key in , turned to ignition, starter motor going but no ignition, turned key to ON position and pressed the unlock button on the Clifford alarm control which normally turns off the immobilizer if I try starting it after 10 seconds of unlocking it, but still no joy and this time even the starter motor wasnt going. Now here is a weird thing, I noticed white noise coming from somewhere (I assume the radio speakers) but the radio was off and when I turned to ignition the noise stopped only to return when the key was in the on position. I tried playing around with it last night resetting the ecu and locking it/ unlocking it a lot but no joy. Its strange cause she was starting fine all day.

Does anyone have any ideas?? Anything?? A sacraficial lamb or anything that might help??

shouldn't reset the ecu until you get any fault codes off it first... coil packs seem to be a common problem, changed one of mine a while back.....

noise wise are you familar with the noise the fuel pump makes?

BTW ... are you the guy running biofuel?

Erm, have you checked the Battery isn't dead?
