Matt1878 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Well as you guys know I drove my second Glanza home 70 miles yesterday and it drove perfect.. Went to go back out in it yesterday and it started up but was very very lumpy, As though it was only running on 3 cylinders.Turned it off, fired it up again and had the same problem... Then all of a sudden it cut out and wont start at all now. Its turning over but not firing at all. Its not the immobilizer as I thought I could have just been a bit of a retard with new alarm but I'm not. I've taken the dizzy cap off, cleaned it out. Changed the HT leads for a spare set and also swapped the king lead for a different one. All with no change. Any help on this is appreciated guys...

I can certainly smell fuel in the cylinders mate yes. Will be checking for a clean spark when I've got some one with me to turn it over in a short while Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 This has completely baffled me. It ran absolutely perfect so I doubt it's a major fault. I did about 150 miles in it over this weekend alone and it was perfect so I'm scratching my head over this. Plugs have done about 1500 miles so unlikely to be those, it may be worth changing them just in case though. If you want to check for fuel just remove the rubber hose on the fuel return pipe and see if fuel comes out of it when you turn it over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Just clean the plugs then if they are new, oil or dirt or water might have made its way in. Got good earth straps in the bay ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I had a similar issue a few months back in work, turned out the timing belt had skipped a few teeth and obviously preventing it from starting. Worth a check atleast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
