Thanks Chris, i just waited a while and went back to the car and it started second go! WHat a bugger! I will check the power at the coil though next time it decides not to start! This is turning out to be very annoying :) If anyone else can think of any reason why my problem comes and goes, or what it is then let me know.. Thanks again, Mark. --- "Chris Howard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Could be your ignition switch turning dodgy, check you still have power >at the coil when you release the key from cranking. > >Cheers, > >Chris > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:membersozdat_owner@;datascribe.com.au] On Behalf Of Mark Firman >> Sent: Friday, 1 November 2002 5:37 PM >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Subject: URGENT - starting problems!! >> >> >> Hi all, >> sorry but this is URGENT - >> my 1600 refuses to start :( >> It had the same problem a few days ago and i thought it was >> the fuel evaporating in the carb cos it was real hot, but >> today the engine is almost cold and it still doesn't start! >> I found that it runs fine when the starter is engaged but >> when you let the key turn back the engine dies :( I dont >> think it has any spark or something... >> What could cause this?
