Corsa SXI car engine stopped

Post by mm391 »

Hi,

I was driving along today and all of a sudden I lost the power to accelerate. What I mean is the car remained running and all the electrics were working and the engine was revving as you would expect when the car is slowing down (revs dropping as the car slows) the problem was whenever I put my foot down on the accelerator absolutely nothing happened). The car just continued to slow to a fault. Now when I try to start it, I twist the key and the starter motor turns over but the car just will not start. I have half a tank tank of petrol so ruled that out straightaway.

Does anyone know why this maybe?

Thanks

Matt

you need to start with the basic tests, most important is to check that you have a spark, no spark=no engine this could be down to a fuse or something else but it is a good place to start.
