Car not starting

Hi,

When i went to leave work my car started and then about 4 seconds later it just cut out. I have tried starting it and keeping the revs up abit, but still cuts out. I have a CTR EP3, and it also has a KPRO. Stuck it in a computer and got these 2 errors:

P1298 - ELD Circuit High Voltage
P0341 - Variable Valve Timing (VTC) Phase gap

Could either of these be the problem with the car not starting properly?

Thanks for the help

Nick

Please be carefull! It is possible that your timingchain has skipped a tooth or two! How much miles/km are on it? If you wanna know for sure take off your rockercover and look at the marks on the side of your cams. Online you can find how-to's. I doubt it has something to do with the use of krpo..

Hi,

Thanks for your help. its on 120k, i've seen that posted around so will give that a go this weekend

Would this cause the engine to cut out after a short period?

If any body else has any suggestions, please more the merrier

Thanks

I have spoken to someone i know and they suggest this probably isnt the case, as he said it wouldnt stay running for 5-10 seconds everytime. He said it would turn over once and just seize and never turn back on

What you reckon?

Have you followed the troubleshooting steps for those errors in the factory service manual?

Hi,

I haven't no, but i dont want to go down this road and it not be the cause of the main issue.

Do you think these errors could cause my problem?

Thanks

Step one is to troubleshoot known error codes.
