Put my car away as nornal on friday night, been running perfectly normal no signs of any problems or faults. Went to go out on saturday morning car started up fine then died/ stalled as i tried to reverse out of my parking space!Tried to start it up again and it wouldnt. Would turn over but not start, got lots of shiney new bits to put on it but cant even get the car off the front,
Any ideas guys, really need help with this.
Thanks B17DUF
Driver's footwell, fuse box, right hand column, third from top = Fuel pump fuse.
Pull it out, crank the engine for ten seconds or so (ten seconds seems like a long time while you're doing it) , then refit the fuse and try again.
This is assuming the engine is flooded, from being started on Friday night, and switched off again within a few seconds.
Will try that when i finish work tonight, Fuel pump should be ok because i only changed it bout 9 month ago for a walbro from Apex.
Mine's been doing this yet again for the past week or so.. But on Saturday it mysteriously cured itself again. I got so annoyed with doing the damn fuel pump fuse pulling thing that Ive put the fuse on a switch now.
Probably makes no difference but car is parked on a slope ( nose down ) would this cause a problem in itself?
Finally found time to try this Jon and it worked,Originally Posted by Jon
So it was flooded but any ideas what causes it to flood? Running a stage 2 chip from Jez which i1ve never had any problems with. Fuel ecomonomy is the same as its always been. Could it be the auto choke on the cold mornings giving it too much fuel?
Most likely
