    VAUXHALL CALIBRA 2.0 16v C20XE K 1993 DIS model - Non starter, will not rev then dies Archived Message

    Called in by local garage to basically non-starter.
    Starts for a couple of seconds, wont rev, then slowly dies. Will not resart. Plugs fouled. Code 19 flagged.
    New CAS fitted. Now Code 31. Same response.
    CAS changed again. Reverts back to Code 19. Meanwhile garage decided to try and towstart the car. No joy, but Code 19 PLUS Codes 73, 93 and 94 added. Fuel checked for contamination. OK. Good spark present. Scoped CAS - appears fine.
    Since these latter codes were added without the engine running I am wondering if these should be ignored? If not, why did they not show up earlier? Any suggestions welcome!!!
