Tuscan stalled......won't start

It might be unconnected but I managed to flood mine, panic and then call AA. They arrived an hour later, turned the key over, huge cloud of black smoke and it ran fine...........(need a smilely for dickhead now....)

If you have flooded it and it does start later when it's settled down then you have to come back on here and admit it !

Flooded mine, started fine 30 mins later. Once in a year of ownership isn't too bad.

if it's flooded just pull the fuel pump fuse, crank it over on the starter for a few secs, stick the fuse back in and bob's your mother's brother

Thanks, I tried again this morning...no joy....fuel pump working so not the cut off switch...will check the fuses.....gggrrrrrr.......still love my TVR

Checked fuses.......(the ones I thought Martin @ Racing Green told me to check) no joy
Flat bed to Racing Green.
Martin crawled around for a couple of minutes.............coil fuse blown to bits!!
New fuse & Trevor coughed into life I love my TVR
I have strong feelings for the guys @ Racing Green as well!!

Feel a bit stupid for not checking the coil fuse though
Big grin driving back to work........& that was in the Volvo
