Car Wont Start

[malbon]

Tonner, I've edited your posts, I've replaced your typing of car "wunt" start to car wont start. If people need to search for posts if their cars cant start in the future they wont find this thread otherwise.

 

Just makes the forum much more useful for future use.

 

Cheers

Hi Tonner

 

Dont understand You say it wont start, but then you say it ticks over ok?

 

If it ticks over it has started If it then cuts out when you put your foot on the throttle then thats another problem

 

So what is wrong ?

When you saying ticking over do you mean it just makes a clicking sound and doesnt start?

[Elaine]

I took he meant 'turns over' ok, but won't start?

[malbon]

[tonner_notts]

also a cpl of times when driving say im in 2nd gear doing about 30mph, then i accelarate, the car sometimes like kangaroos, as though i had just dipped the clutch really quickly or something,

would this be caused by the same problem or anyone with any ideas

Electrical - ditto - wiring loom fault - over to you Jon

Check where the negative lead bolts onto the chassis ( i think it's under the battery tray) any corrosion there won't help!!

If it's ticking and not turning over then it's defo your battery. Either fooked or the connectors need cleaning, lubing and tightening!!

 

Soups is right. Have a look through the mass of recipts that came with the car. If you can find the battery one you'll probably get it sorted on warrenty.

Talk to Scott Mac - think he's got a spare. his was replaced but it wasn't the cause of the problem.
