brind31 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 My friend has a 'P' reg 2.0 Zetec Galaxy with a very strange starting problem that has left everybody confused. The problem started when he went to the petrol station, switched engine off and fueled up, on returning to start the car it just spun over and would not fire. After towing it home we did some checks, fuel is getting to the injectors but there is no spark. Coils check out ok......This is where it gets a bit weired. Aquired one of those hand held fault code readers, plugged it in and no faults stored, but it started and ran, remove the fault code reader and it will not start. Seems it only starts with the code reader in. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it please help!!!! Quote

seatkid Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 Have you tried unplugging the battery for five minutes (after checking you have the radio code first). Should reset the ECU to default settings. Quote
