Its not showing any fault codes in fact the engine management light doesnt come on at all Turning the key just results in a rapid clicking which I cant tell if it a relay opening and closing or the starter motor, any thoughts |

Low battery causing the starter motor to not engage would be my first guess, or bad connection.? Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk |

Rapid clicking = duff battery. A jump starter pack / jump leads won't provide enough current if the battery has gone open circuit. No engine light = bulb removed, ECU or EFI fuse gone or ECU faulty / removed. |

So, I have checked the distributor cap, rotor arm, plugs and leads and put a new battery on. It fires and splutters and on 2 occasions has started for a few seconds before stalling due to low revs, I tightened up the throttle cable a little to lift the starting rpm and the car ran for a minute before cutting out as I slackened off the cable. I haven't been able to start it again although it does turn over and fire Thoughts? Cheers |

I would say the next step is to replace the engine light and check error codes. Being a 185, I'd most suspect a hole / leak in the air plumbing, quite likely in the corrugated pipe from AFM to turbo. |

This may sound really daft! The turbo / air intake pipe as mentioned above is knackered and is cracked / holed. Would that result in the inability to idle due to the AFM not picking up any air being drawn in? |

Tank (/gaffer/duct) tape is a usable temporary 'get you home' bodge to prove a point. |

A temp repair wont do for this one I dont think it more or less crumbled when I took it off |

Well there is fuel getting through, I took the fuel supply pipe off the top of the fuel filter and it pumped fuel out when I turned it over |
