Big Problem
« on: 29 March 2005, 11:19 »
On driving home from Uni today my damn car decided to die!  Here is the situation - Speeding along at about 70mph and all of a sudden there is this like Pop sound (loud but not extremely loud) then the car just dies in mid flow!!! luckily managed to get the it into a layby, where i tried to start it again - but nothing! The engine is turning but nothing is happening!

Any ideas? not what i need right now when im as skint as a MoFo!

Hi mate!

Polys engine problem turned out to be a very simple job to fix

2 Of the wires on the hall sender had come loose, replaced that and it ran almost straight away.

Ah this reminds me....memories. About 15 years ago I was doing 80+ on the outside lane of the M3 in an Astra and the camshaft snapped clean in half  :shocked: managed to get to the hard shoulder (just) switched to german motors not long after that.... :wink:

Could be the fuel pump relay, does the pump prime when you turn the key?
