Car broke down neeeeeed advice plzzz
-
what did it sound like when it was turning over? have you been abusing it lately? did you try pressing the accelerator abit when you turned it over? i know you aint meant to do it on an injection engine, but if it starts it'll give you more of a clue as to whats wrong with it, when was the cambelt last changed?
-
belt was changed about 5000 miles ago
and i give her a thrash now an then
was spluttering when turning over for a bit
then just turned over afterwards, not a hint of anything
i rekn fuel pump, dunno tho
-
did it kind of start then die straight away? does sound to me like the fuel pump, or the wiring, look under the rear seats, you'll see the fuel pump wiring, see if its melted…mine did :cry: if it appears ok connect a live direct to the thick red/black wire, you should hear the pump whining away, then try starting it
-
thers no whine wen u turn the key
batterys nearly flat so cracks wen you go to turn her over
does the pump onli engage when u start or wen u just turn the ignition??
cheer
-
oh an died just after i got out of my drive way
been running about 1 min MAX
-
the pump will engage when you turn the ignition on to pressurise the fuel pipes to a specific pressure, so will come on and go off every so often and will do this the whole time, if you do as i say above temporarily you'll soon know if its the pump or something else
why is the battery flat? and you mean the starter selonoid just clicks?
-
yes, or clicks lol
and the batterys flat because im 19 an i think that if i carry on trying to start it
it will start :roll:
-
try what i said and it might, theres no point in sitting in front of your computer all day hoping someone has a magic answer :P
-
