Engine wont start
Messages 1 to 9 of 9.
Every so often it wont start. It could run for months then all of a sudden wont go.If I put petrol down carb it invariably starts up or if I leave it for an hour or two or sometimes overnight it will start.Finally the stange thing it will always start with a push . The battery is fine, it turns over but wont fire. Anyone any ideas.Thanks
No have had no success.At the moment I just put up with it and make sure when I park up Im on a hill.
With the Rover it coughed after being left for a week and then would not go. Decided that it was flooded and was still getting too much fuel due to temp reading cold. (it was cold). It was started by dosing the air-intake with a heat gun. With the Peugeot which would normally start on first turn, it seems that maybe the immobiliser had not de-activated for some reason and thereafter flooded and needed a lot of persuassion to start and was seriously flooded. Now when I start the Peugeot If it does not start on the first turn, I always switch off immediately and watch for the keycode light to go off before trying again. It might be a tip to check the code light before you start every morning.
I bought a recon starter for my Brava which turned out to be a duff one as the same problem happened again so I replaced it with a dearer recon starter & this worked a treat.
Thanks for reply.Starter motors fine .Its an intermittent fault and will always start when the fault occurs with a push.Its almost as if by starting with a bump start it sorts the problem that wont allow it to start of starter motor.
your car must be a nightmare to start in the winter, also looking for a hill to park must get rather annoying. Does it start ok once it has warmed up?
