| Post subject: | 4th gen will not start |
Hi, my 4th generation was running fine. I parked up one evening and couldn't get it started the next day. Looking along the top of the block I noticed that a vacuum line had perished (or possibly been eaten by a mouse). This line was replaced but my problem was not solved. I thought it could be the optispark (or whatever they call the distributor) as I have heard they are prone to give up when wet and it had rained a lot. I took off a plug lead, attached a plug and I have a spark. I therefore assume its not the problem. Next guess then is the fuel pump, which was allegedly new on import.....and this is where I need help..... I need to know if its working and if not why not. I hope it wasn't a mouse that has munched through my electrics! Fuses seem fine. My battery is nearly flat now so I was going to ask if its a problem to disconect it, but this question has just been asked, so I'll wait for this to be answered on the previous thread. The car has a low body kit, is parked nose to a wall, is an auto and will be a nightmare to get to a garage or to work under. Cheers, CHRIS |

Hi mate, Yeah if its getting a spark would have thought its gotta be the fuel system, Can you hear the pump prime when you turn on the ignition? Wouldnt have thought a vacuum hose would effect starting, just may couse it to run rough. Maybe check sensors [make sure their plugged in] just an idea. |
