HELP!! Panel shop hell - now 3mps wont start
hi guys,
didnt see a Help section so thought id put it in the tech section as im sure one of you are "techy" enough to know the problem
So i took my car on monday to a panel shop to get a dint repaired, quite minor and when i rang today to make sure it was ready for pick up they advised that it was all finished BUT they cant get it to start.... !! as you would imagine i was pretty angry but i thought id wait till i went to see the car as i have had a couple of mods SRI, TIP and Standback with PNP harness which is not connected at the moment jsut runnuning the bypass lead so still on stock ECU.
i was hoping it was something to do with that or maybe petrol, however when i got down there i went to start it and it would even catch, would chug chug chug and nothing, then a puff of white grey smoke from the driver side under the intercooler.
this really scared me, it kinda looked electrical smoke like something was shorting plus the panel guy said he noticed it was blowing an engine fuse (number 65 or something) but according to the manual it is an engine fuse..... WHY i Ask??
Any help would be great, s spoke to my mechanic he thinks its suspect maybe water into some electrical points, or even in the spark plugs, he is having a look tomorrow but thinks it will be an electrical fault.
just FYI they didnt remove any panels so shouldnt have tripped or unplugged any hoses accidently. my worst fear was someone took it for a burn, and puyshed it too hard and something major has happened but im sure a repretable panel works would not condone this.
ive had to leave it up there and will get it towed in the morning to this mechanic i know for further inspection but any of your help or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
