Car was running the died

Post by projectjava »

The car was running no probs for the 30mins journey home. Got back to my town at the car started ticking, reversed the car into its spot and got out to listen to the ticking and it just died. Tried starting it to no avail. Fuse is ok, and i've ordered a new fuel pump relay from the dealer. Car still cranks just seems that its missing that final push to start. :(

Anyone have some ideas??

If the pump isn't supplying fuel to the engine - it could be as simple as the fuel pump relay.
Have you done any kinds of checks? What engine is it?

i've changed the relay, & i've done the paper clip test, which says its the fuel pump, so i'm going to try that next time i'm off.

thanks.

Ticking could have been a spark arcing somewhere, is it getting a good spark at the plugs etc?
