Catteeclan Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago And today?.....the Dacia won't start! Did you remember to reconnect the tank sender, just incase it's also a pump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I cleaned the multi plug on the tank and reinstalled it, took the plugs out, there is a spark, and there is a smell of petrol when I crank it over, but will still not start. In recent weeks I have reversed onto the road, turned car off, then i came out a couple of minutes later and it took quite a bit of cranking to get it to start. Will have another look tomorrow, hope the weather plays ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a good spark on each spark plug.... and good compression too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busabeast Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago I know it sounds silly but with the gauge not working is there fuel in the tank? blocked fuel filter? Or its a dodgy sensor somewhere possibly? Maybe cam sensor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to take it and the plugs out to dry off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have trouble with a sensor in the past, car would start OK, but would not pull from slow speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put car battery charger on (basic charger) and it lights up that battery is charged, so I put my scoot charger on and it shows that is not charged, so I am going to try a new battery, just hope the scoot charger puts enough in battery to start the car, it's a bloody long walk to the car spare shop, and it's still pissing down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Bought a new battery, installed it, and it fired up straight away. And the fuel gauge now reads that tank is absolutely full, which I know it ain't. but at least it is running. Going to start the search for a car replacement at the weekend.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
