battery problems
« on: 28 March 2010, 11:26 »
Put up a post yesterday about a 16v misfire,turns out my battery was dead so i fired a working one on this morning.
The car was turning over great but wouldnt start even when bumped,so i left it a couple of mins and tried the key again.bang it started.
When i got it started yesterday after bumping it with an almost flat battery it had a big miss at 4k,could running the car with the flat battery caused this mis as it isnt doing it now with a charged battery?
Would a faulty fuel pump cause it?what would the symptoms be?
Also havent changed the fuel filter in 3years could this be a problem?
Have cleaned up all the earths in the engine bay yesterday too.
