HELP PLEASE!!!!

Post by russell1990 »

Hi i am having problems with my 1.2 sxi Wreg corsa. i am having problems when i am starting it up. when im starting it up most of the time it can take up 4 times trying to start it up. i am wondering what could be the problem? :(

my old corsa which was a Lreg started up everytime not missing a beat. i was wondering if this can be a simple fix or what your opinion is on it.

i would really appreciate the advise :)
see how long it takes me to be pulled with my red sidelights :)

Hi Mate, With CJ take the dissy cap off and look at the 4 pins inside if there corroded id get a new 1. also check the HT leads 4 damp or if the leads have a brake in them. I had that on my corsa, the leads had corroded away and it was hard 2 turn over, the way i found out was i tuched it and i got a shock of it lol.

yeah its perfect when its running its just starting it up. like today i had to start it 2-3 times to get it going. when i got home i went in for 5mins then came back out and started it up again and it started first time
