Cleaned the throttle body and butterfly with carby cleaner then went and washed car then back home, later drove to the supermarket and when I came out to drive off the car wouldn't start. It wouldn't even turn over and all the lights were flickering on and off like it was tripping/shorting out. Heard a ticking under the bonnet while turning the engine over and the ticking is coming from the side of the throttle body, sounds like the butterfly is trying to open and close but not happening, anyone know what it could be? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I had no licence my battery did this twice. Put it on a drip charger, first time for a few nights, and was fine. First start no problems. Second time was for half an hour as I got my licence back and wanted to go for a drive lol. Was fine and started first go.Not saying all battery's will be like this but just my experience..Its an RACV battery for those wondering, been that good I'm considering putting a cheap one in when I sell the car lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
