car turns over only starts when pushed

Post by spencer1234 »

I have an old s reg 98 corsa b. I got in the car to goto the gym and it would turn over as normal but wouldnt fire up unless i pushed the car. The car has loads of fuel in it the battery is fine obviously the car also sparks because it starts when you give it a little push. If i leave the car after its started for more than 1 hour it wont start again unless pushed. I have checked all fuses and cant see any loose conections.

Thanks spence!!

hi, don't know if you've got it sorted yet, but I had the same problem with my old corsa and it turned out that the Fuel Pump Relay was faulty. If it is that you can pick them up on ebay for a few quid.
