yes starter motor will turn the engine over, it gets the oil around the engine since it will be bone dry after being stood without being started

will it turn over without the plugs in??

also why should this be done?

good idea to turn it over for a bit without the plugs in for first time

right the corsa starter loom is conected to the alt and starter motor, but were else does it go?? my mate who put it on said it goes to the other loom, but i was under the impression it goes into the bulkhead on the passangers side?? and then conects to somthing??

also what wires should be conected on it? just to double check them. if this isnt the problem i'm fucked :(

i dont know mate i aint seen the car,

any one give me a list of the possible things or most common problems it could be??

1st try corsa starter loom,
2nd make sure its conected to the alt, starter motor and then into the bulk head and conected to what then?? by corsa body loom, do u just mean the loom which is been put it?? or somthing different?

yeh.. theres probably wires coming off them... but is the starter loom which ever one it is... connected to the corsa body loom( the one that comes out of the bulkhead)?

no the new mechanice said he's looked at the starter and alt and there wired up, he dont know if its with the corsa loom, i told him it cant be coz the corsa starter loom is in my other mechinc garage lol. so it has to be the corsa starter loom or it will NOT start at all??

wtf... your mechanic talking shit.... the engine will not turn over without that loom.... i know this cos the big plug in that pic above came undone before on me... as soon as i tunred the car off it wouldlt even turn over which meant i had to walk home...:|

you need to be using the corsa starting loom mate

i aint used any, i aint been upto my car. but i'm 99% sure non one has put the corsa starter loom on, but this fella recons the alt and starter motor is wired up. :boggle:

if it dont turn over then id be 90% sure its the loom we talked about in the other thread (starter loom)

which one did you use?

well i've had a bit of a problem with getting it done, the car was in my mates yard for 13weeks, and he never finished it, been in this new garage now and he cant find the icv plug on the loom at all it aint there. anyway this new fella aint wired the alt or starter as it was already done, dunno who done it tho, my mate never and i never lol. does this need to be done with the corsa bit of the loom?


or can it be done with the loom from the cav gsi? evan tho that was just 1 peaice.

well, the first thing clearly is check the wiring to the starter motor!
check that you get a 12v feed to it when the key is in position 3

there aint evan a pipe on the inlet mainfold lol.

it dont evan turn over, the lights come on on the dash, when you turn the key to the 3rd position, just nothing :(

no it wont start at all :lol: if theres no air theres no combustion!

does it turn over?

when the key is put in, the lights come on, the fuel pumps are running, but nothin, the icv aint conected up as them plugs are not on the loom anywere :o

what could the problem be??

any idea's? i've been told the car should turn over and start but just not idle without the icv plugged in. so why aint it evan starting?

cheers :thumbs:
