Engine will start but won’t run
Hi, this is my 1st post. My Pinin 1.6 GDI was starting and running ok, but with a bit of white smoke when running. Problem seemed to be a faulty PCV VALVE. Changed valve for a new one, but now it will start but won't run at all. Nothing else has changed, anyone any ideas.?. Any help will be appreciated, I've run out of ideas. Thanks.
Tell us exactly what happens...
Starts but won't run sounds a bit peculiar - in a manner of speaking, the "running" state is the culmination of the "starting" state - if it starts, it has to run, because until it is running, it is still in the start phase.
Tell us exactly what happens when you try to start it.
Do you know how to pull failure codes from the ECU?
Are you sure about that?
I'm not aware of the Pinin being sold with a 1.6 GDI engine - 1.6, 1.8 & 2.0 MPI engines, and 1.8 or 2.0 GDI.
Did you try putting the original PCV back? Were you using a replacement OEM valve?
