Start Problem With 1999 Galaxy 2.3

[skhai]

Problem with my ford galaxy 1999 2.3 petrol.Couple of times refused to start(but still turns over) Called RAC out after it refused to start at MOT bay.:(

They thought it was the fuel pump,got it started again and we made it home but refused to start again the next day.Has had new pump,started and ran for 20 mins afterwards then stopped and refused to start again.Now the light on the door flashes like mad when we try to start it and we have beed told its sending a code for the imobilizer...1616....Anyone know what that is?? Also been told it could be the relay 30 which someone has show to repair with diagrams on this site but for the mk11.If this was the case,would the relay be in the same place on a mk1 and would anyone happen to know the part no for a relay 27/30?? Or could it be something totally different?

Have been totally smitten by this mpv until now,normally very reliable.:rolleyes:

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

If you go back to the MK 2 instructions in the FAQ's and go to page 2 and scroll down you will see pics for a MK 1, it is in the same position

Remove relay Number 30 and re solder joint on its pcb. I had the same problem, the engine turns over but will not start,( did this a few times then would not start at all) light on door flashes continuasly then flashes one then six. The relay on my older Galaxy is behind fuse box drivers side. The hole unit has to be dropped down, and there are clips securing the two halves.
