car died
« on: Dec 9, 2002, 11:28PM »
ok, last nite, my car died at a set of lights as i was about to take off..

wouldnt start, it was like the battery was dead, it was turning over but there was no spark. so i pushed it to a workshop & rocked up there this morning to havea chat to them... the mechanic was out for another hour so i tried to start the car again, this time it got spark but didnt wanna start still, & it coughed & spluttered... i tried again one last time & it fired up instantly, idled a little rough & then all was good... got the car home from essendon to croydon without much hassle..


any ideas?

sounds like a fuel problem.. change fuel filter as a blocked one can have a bad effect on fuel getting to fuel rail etc, and finally into engine  :-/, and also get somone to chek the fuel pump as it could well possibly be on its way out and mite be running intermittenly.

just a suggestion, hope it helps!
