1.1 1994 Fiesta doesn't like starting from cold. When you turn the key in the ignition the engine begins to turn as though it's going to start - and then nothing.
We've replaced the plugs and the battery seems to have plenty of life in it. Spraying WD40 into the air intake and/or flooring the accelerator has worked in the past, but not now.
Thanks Teddio - will try that. Mr Next Door (a mechanic/engineer) has kindly offered to take a look at it whilst I'm at work tomorrow as he's not working, so I'm keeping everything crossed.
QueenOfAmbe, I love the idea of the Ferrari. Unfortunately my bank has other ideas!
hi there
have you tryed cleaning the cap and rotar arm and checked on the ign leads or does it have a ign coil on it, the cap is located ifyou follow the leads from the spark plug to a red cap where all the leads go in to
try that
thanks
Well, my lovely, lovely neighbour took a look at it whilst I was at work today. He replaced the ignition leads and it started straightaway, apparently. Now it's just a case of wait and see.
