A silly numpty.........

[ciaran.j]

 


powerwashed my engine ***mot wash** to my digust. Now this had the effect of the engine not igniting. Now I got the RAC out and after some deduction we found out it was both the fuel relay and ignition coil were f**ked.......


Now with that I had these units in the back of the car......**i have a spare units**

Now the car runs great but once in a while the car wont ignite but does after a while and then once on idle it just cuts out ***not whilst the car is running, as in travelling on the road***

I know it could be many problems but any advice wold be gladly accepted

check round the crank sensor wiring, escpecially up near the sensor

if you have hit this cabling with a powerwash and its slightly brittle,

this would cause engine probs including lack of spark, im sure a power wash is what finally sent my one off to the engine block in the sky
