Customer Complaint

The engine cranked but would not start after the vehicle had been parked for two days.

Problem Summary

The vehicle had recently been serviced and driven about 60 km before being parked. It cranked briskly but had a strong fuel smell from the exhaust. Disconnecting the injectors allowed it to fire on the fuel already in the manifold; reconnecting them caused it to flood again. No fault codes were reported.
