Hope someone can help ... Mini used to eat through standard starter motors so invested in a hi torque jobbie. Since then it struggled to start and now refuses to fire!

Is the battery lead shorting against anything? On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I had a similar problem years back, turned out to be a knackered starter that was brand new from minispares. Can you try another from someone else? |

If its not sparking when cranking is it seeing a crank signal? Does the crank signal run your fuel pump aswell? |

The fuel pumps on its own switch separate from the ecu... This is the crank oscilloscope

Is your ecu getting power when cranking? if you've changed the wiring round it may not be connected to the starter wiring bit. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

The only thing that's changed is the starter motor since it used to work (but the starter was crap)

Just double checked and everything's there .. Live from battery, from starter to alternator and the signal wire

sounds like the coil is either underpowered or knackered Rich. Do you have a spare you can try? |

Have you tried repeatedly swearing at it very loudly? doesnt always solve the problem but often makes me feel better!
