i have 1999 1.4 16v sprt with 1992 cav sri c20xe, ive had car off the road for quite some time and it doe'snt start with the key....
ive charged the battery up previously abit so it was showing green light and there is nothing on the key so we bumped it down the street earlier and it started first time no issues at all, we left it running on tockover for 30-45 minutes...
turn it off and turn it back on again and there is nothing, just couple of clicks down in passenger foot well...
anybody know why it wont start as to me its electronic like immobiliser or something just dont get it has me and my mate baffled

if it was immobiliser it would start at all as it cuts the fuel off it sounds like started motor or battery
