Idling at the Lights
Hi everyone, a lot of great knowledgeable people in this forum, have been searching for an answer for my problem but haven't been able to find it.
So to keep it short, I put the battery cables on the battery the wrong way around and blasted some fuses and the car doesn't start anymore and only cranks.
I found that the 100A fuse was blown which I replaced, and a 10A fuse as well which I also replaced. The electronics in the car all work well, cranks great, but doesn't start. I have added fresh fuel as it was low on fuel and I have tried jump starting it. It still doesn't start. There is a fresh fuel smell in the engine bay so I don't believe the fuel pump is broken, the timing belt is also new so I don't believe it's that either. It could be the sparks so I still need to check that. Are there any other ideas for why it may not start? I'm thinking the crank angle or camshaft sensor could be fried or maybe some of the relays. Would be great to hear any other ideas as the car was running amazing before I accidentally put the battery cables the wrong way around thanks in advance
