Default Car wont start
Hi,
Just joined as my 1992 323F (pop up lights) will not start, first time ever

(hope this isthe correct place to post).

The local garage has found the fault code - 12. Long dash + 2 short dashes.
They say that this points to the throttle sensor. If this is correct surely it would start but run rough.

There are fat sparks and fuel.

Does anyone have anyideas?

Cheers

If the TPS is faulty it can cause it to not start, either flood the engine, or no gas at all. It's a fairly cheap part, and easy to swap, so I'd start there and see if it fixes your problem.
