Why won't she start

[h9ops]

My first problem with my T350C and i am stumped.

Started the car this morning, all was fine. Then the engine just stopped and i have been unable to restart.

All appears normal, dash lights on , immobilser off, fuel pump primes, engine turns over, but it just won't start.

I have checked the fuses all ok There is plenty of fuel. Ithought maybe i flooded it so have returned a few hors later and tried again still the same.

Any one got any clues

I'm far from an expert, sure they'll be along in a minute. If the fuel pump is priming, then I agree the immobiliser must be off and that you have one third of the winning triad for making the engine run. Assuming that it's also getting air, that makes spark the most likely problem. If it's cranking but not starting, is the battery on the way out? HT lead failed? water/oil in the plugs? Flow sensor to ECU causing it to retard spark?

sorry, not much help but perhaps a few quick things to look at.

Crank sensor? Coil pack? both worth a check for loose connections.

Hey..

It's not the fuel cut off switch (details are in the handbook) is it?

Is there a click when you turn the key?

So you started it and it cut out for whatever reason? Did it run for a few seconds OK then stall/cut out? Even though you'd left it the engine may still be flooded. To check, remove the fuel pump power/fuse, crank it (it may start and then stall), reconnect and start.

Don't touch the throttle when starting as there is probably plenty of fuel around.

Oh, and expect a backfire through the airfilter - might happen if fuel is plentyful.
