1L Won't Start Today! Advice?
Posted: Sun Jul 08, 2012 5:40 pm
I have a 98 1Litre with 130000 miles, Its rough but I want to keep it running. It wouldnt idle whilst warm and think it was over heating as the coolant stink but now it dosent start at all. I drove it a lot yesterday through some serious floods but it seemed to be ticking over fine no problems however when I parked it up I noticed smoke coming from the bonnet. Today when the engine is cold it won't start. I put in new spark plugs, oil, air filter tried disconnecting the air flow meter and cleaned up the throttle plate which was filthy. I have a good battery. I'm new to these 3 cylinder engines, is there no distributor cap? Also I'm thinking it could be that the injectors are blocked? I have the engine light on the dash, any suggestions
