Stalled!

[nidges2]

Have owned my Tuscan for about 2 months and recently whilst wearing christmas boots have managed to stall. Unfortunately on these two ocasions she flatly refuses to restart (have to leave for about 10-15 minutes)Any comments gratefully received.

Now if it was a Chim or a Griff, I'd say Hot Start (starter motor) problem, not sure on a Tuscan.

It's asking for a change of driver.

Is it fireing on all cylinders? Could be a dodgy Lambda sensor. I had two go and stalling was a good indication, Also re-start was a prob.

When you say it wont start what exactly happens?

If it wont turn over then it could be new battery time or I have heard of a failed starter motor (funny enough the winding had broken down due to the heat, so same as Griff/Chim but lasted about 4 years on a tuscan)

If it will turn over but not catch then it may be flooding (over fuelling) or could be dead plug/lead if running rough, or could be blocked fuel filter/injector

Difficult to tell from a "wont start", perhaps you could expand a bit

Good luck though, hope it is something cheap like a loose cable

Cheers for the reply, when it did stall the starter motor turned ok, but just failed to fire. Recently had a service and new battery/leads done etc.

Hasn't done it since so hopefully a one off.

Thanks again for the responses.
