Cant start my megane 1.4 16v

Hey guys, just bought a megane II for my girlfriend, from a jag shop of all places. I've been searching through these forums as i've been having problems starting the bloody thing.

There seems to be a few people maybe having a similar problem, I try to start it as normal and it wont, i dont want to try it too often for fear of flooding it? does anyone know why this is doing this?

Wouldn't want the little lady getting stuck somewhere.

It's most likely an immobiliser fault, when you say it wont start, does the immobiliser light stop flashing when you disarm it or does it still flash?

You won't flood it, the injection system doesn't work like old carbs do.

Exclamation Re: Cant start my megane 1.4 16v

sounds like the crankshaft sensor is dirty on the connection, try to clean up the connection and see what happens mate ok.
