Wont Start

Post by odysseyireland » Sat Apr 15, 2006 5:53 pm

Stopped for lunch, came out later and car wont start properly

starts as if on very low revs not enough to keep engine running, throttle has zero effect when pressed, i.e. no increase in revs. Engine then cuts out.

Almost sounds like it has immobilised itself...

Any ideas?

Thanks
David

Thanks, RAC guy came out and diagnosed a knackered fuel pump, couldnt get it going at all, despite proving it had power ok, so car came home on a trailer.

Handy enough that it happened outside my local inn as it made for a very pleasant wait lol, shame its Easter and might take a few days to sort out.

Unusual that, first time I have heard of one failing completely, usually they get noisy first giving a warning of impending failure......
