Hi there,
I'm new to this C3 game and I'm having difficulty getting mine started, It's a 53 plate 1.4 sx and it has been sitting for the last couple of years. I had fault codes on it P0201 P0203 P0204 P0202 P2101, The car had a flat battery so I have replaced that so I reckon that's what was causing the first 4 codes for the low voltage in the injectors, I have also checked the resistance in the injectors and they are reading 12 - 13 Ohms so reckon they are ok. The car is just turning over so I can only think that it is the throttle actuator is throwing up the P2101 code?
If i'm going in the wrong direction please tell because I'm getting pretty confused.
Thanks for any advice
Cheers

Hello larry83, welcome to the forum.
I would delete all the codes and see which ones won't clear (permanent) and which ones come back as soon as you try to start it.
Its easy to get bogged down with old codes that refer to a previous fault.

Thanks for the reply,
There are currently no codes came back after I cleared them, but unfortunately still not starting.
The car has now went into MODO ECO and I now have a flashing battery light
Does this go off if the battery is disconnected and left for an amount of time?
I'm not getting a flow out the fuel pump either but I'm not sure whether this is due to the eco mode?
Any help is appreciated
Cheers

Eco Mode (and the flashing battery light) is activated by the car when the ignition has been on for a while, but without starting the engine. Its to stop the accessories running the battery down so there is enough power left to start the engine.The car has now went into MODO ECO and I now have a flashing battery light

Eco mode will clear when the car is started.
Its not eco mode. How about the immobiliser? Has the fob had its battery replaced a lost the transponder chip? or blown fuse in the engine bay fuse box?I'm not getting a flow out the fuel pump either but I'm not sure whether this is due to the eco mode?
