Bloody good point chap I was tired last night when I was trying to think of solutions.

The S2000 has bound to have a switch located somewhere, even a Ford Ka has a fuel cut in the invent of a collision.

Agreed. The grammar police will cease their thread investigations.


You are a brave man buying a damaged S2000 and yet admitting to not knowing much about S2000s!

Fuel cut out switch would be activated in a collision and can be found under the dash above the bonnet catch.

It's activated for a reason though, so best to check that the fuel supply pipes etc are intact before reactivating it IMHO.

It's possible, but again the fault codes dont relate. What I don't know is if those codes would prevent an engine start - im thinking not.

So he has bought an S that is damaged. He can't start the engine, yet has the ecu fault codes. He cannot speak English, yet uses the phrase 'please share your thoughts'.

Not a particularly well constructed attempt really.
