You do....smart key needs to be detected in the car and brake pedal needs to be pressed to start, in P or N.....

Is there a fuel supply problem - not primed or tank level too low? |

The brake pedal will probably feel rock hard, making it difficult to engage starter until you get it started and build up some vacuum pressure.

Thanks, Baltic Blue. I've just seen that the starter motor breather tube is missing. I have no idea if its even possible to install without taking the engine back out. as I said at the beginning of this project nearly a year ago - its a jigsaw. When I said the engine is firing in my previous post; I made a mistake. they engine is turning. would the breather pipe not being connected stop it from trying to start? the brake pedal is not rock hard....not sure if that is a sign of something. |

The missing breather pipe on the starter won't stop it working and it's been turning anyway.

Great that you got past the non-starting issue. Do you know if it was caused by the broken earth strap? |
