Gwr corrado 189 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hi all , I bought my wife a vr6 corrado last week needing a bit of Tlc it's had a v6 24 valve conversion done on the car , and everything was running great when I picked her up but yes always a but , there was a very loud clicking noise coming from the nsr panel ?? The car was then struggling to start so done a obd check showed fuel pump relay , wich I replaced , car still wod struggle to start so more head scratching ??? I then removed the rear panel were the clicking noise was coming from , to find two 30 amp relays , I did the old one of tapping them etc , still no joy . So I then took both of them out and tried starting the car ? It started straight away ? . I've since found out that these relays are for the heated leather seats . So why would they affect the car starting in any form shape or manor is beyond me . Yes it's had an engine conversion but I'm scratching my head as to what these would have to do with the ignition of the car , any thoughts please as the wife really don't want to get rid me I'm just banging my head of a wall thanks in advance for any help and sorry for the long story Link to post Share on other sites
Gwr corrado 189 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Well think the answer is they are drawing 60 amps off the battery wich is then causing a low amp out put towards the fuel pump , , fuel pump being further away from the battery , car is currently starting every turn off the key so fingers crossed it's sorted VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
