Car Not Starting? Help!

Recommended Posts

Guest petrie82

Hi all

 

Was just going to go out, and went to start her up and thier was nothing!!

 

All the ignition lights ect are working on the dash board, and can hear the fuel pump!!

 

I've checked the battery and thats fine!!

 

I thought it could be the starter motor, but does that not usually have a clicking sound to it if its knckered? I cant try bump starting it cause i'll end up in my living room!!!

 

I've had some problems with the car start then cutting out straight away but after holding the revs at 2000 k for about a min and it runs fine!!

 

Had the car out last night and it ran perfect!!

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanx Michael
