non-starting issue: fuel pump or yellow connector? - 18/04/2016 11:58
Hi All,
I've been more of a lurker than contributor so far, but I'm now looking for some help in fixing a recurring starting problem I've been having with my Scots Green 97P 20v Turbo.
She only comes out in dry weather, but get's a decent runout at least once a month (a contradiction in terms, being based in Manchester, I know ), and is normally on a trickle charge when left for a while.
Anyway, recently I've had intermittent problems with starting - either just turning over without firing, or starting initially then the revs failing to pick up and dying within seconds. I've had the RAC out several times, who've sometimes got her going - without knowing why - and sometimes not
I don't think it's an immobiliser or fuel pump problem (but I'm no expert) as I've been able to get over this problem in the past, but I thought I saw a post or two on here about a yellow connector which may cause such symptoms?
All advice welcomed.
Cheers.
