My g/friend's 1.0 K11 has just cutout tonight and it will not start. I had just got in it and it started first time, I lifted up the clutch the car moved about 2 feet then died. The car refuses to start, it is turning over but just will not start. It seems as though it is getting no fuel or an ignition problem:down:
When I turn the ignition key I cannot here the fuel pump priming. I cannot remember if it is really prominent to hear on these cars anyway, I know it is on my Honda Civic. Should I expect to hear a noise of the pump priming on a 1.0 K11 1995 car? It was very dark so I couldn't really take a good look around the car. It is maybe better to take it to a garage as I guess it could be anything. I was just trying to think logically I guess. I remember reading that fuel pumps are a weak point on these cars, as are throttle bodies. If the the throttle body had went would it behave like this or just run like a bag of crap?
The other thing that makes me think fuel related is I have had a problem with this car sometimes in the damp (not very often) but it will not start but you can hear it trying too, eventually it starts and runs on three cylinders and clears itself, but it smells really bad of fuel as I keep the throttle floored all the time when I am trying to start it. I have had the throttle floored all the time when trying to start the car tonight and can smell very little. I understand this problem is caused by damp in the plug leads or something it does it very rarely though.
I was just wondering how could I tell if the fuel pumps was knackered? Could I take a hose off the fuel filter or something and try to start it, and see if fuel goes everywhere? I work on cars quite a bit, and was wondering how difficult is a fuel pump to change in a Micra?
The other problem is the car has an aftermarket immobiliser but this has never been a problem:glance:
Any ideas please anybody, please help :down:
