scoobymark Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 My m8 just bought an evo 6, yes i know he should have bought a scoob, but he widny listen[] anyway it has broken down twice today and after a while of turning the ignition over it started and ran okay. there is no ignition lights on at all when he continually tries to start it, though the engine / starter is turning over , then out of the blue after 10 - 20 mins when the key goes in and turns the ignition lights come on and it fires up . [8-)] After starting it ran for 10mins and cut out again before he drove off, again no ignition lights and not starting. any advise would be appreciated. i have told him to take it to hypertech as they are usually reasonable with prices. also, is it okay to tow a 4wd and more importantly okay for a scoob to tow and evo. if so i will get some picts[] Link to comment
david_taylor Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I am no expert, but I was told you cant tow a scooby as it will feck the diff. If this is true, then I assume the same counts for the evo. Some more mechanically minded here might verify this. Dave Link to comment
TheCrow Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 i think (THINK) you can tow it on all 4 wheels, but not up on 2wheels as that will break the diff. As for the car, possbly an alarm/imob problem? Link to comment
irish al Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 The AA wont tow a 4 wheel drive, they have to get a flatbed to transport it. Al Link to comment
scoobymark Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 I thought it might be an alarm / immobilizer problem too. in saying that, i would have thought the ignition lights would still be on if the immobilizer was kicking in[8-)] Link to comment
wrxchris Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 my dad has a recovery business, and he never tows a constant 4wd car, not worth brakin the diff, best gettin a flat bed. evo diffs aint cheap!! Link to comment
ScoobyDougie Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Could also be a dodgy neutral/earth. Check the earth connections onto the bodywork and check the battery and fuse terminals ensurung all are secure. I'd play safe with the flatbed Cheers Link to comment
Gumball Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 is it startving of fuel and conking? im sure it wont be a big job to get it fixed then the evo 6 will be ready for scoob humping lol Link to comment
dave_morgan Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Definately sounds electrical and/or immobiliser related. Link to comment
