Non starting Spider



Steve -

I'm sure that you'll get lots of ideas, however, Bosch Spiders that
won't start often have batteries that aren't putting out enough voltage.
If the ECU doesn't "see" 10.5 volts (I think that's the number), it
won't fire the ignition, regardless of whether the starter is turning.
I think the test procedure is to use a DVM to measure the voltage at the
battery terminals while cranking, but I'm sure that someone on the
Digest can be more detailed.
