Hi... i'm new so be gentle.....
Iv'e got a 2 litre cdxi manual on a P and it won't start.
Just before xmas i was driving home and it cut out. There's plenty of petrol in it and the leads,plugs,rotor arm and cover have all been renewed. It turns over as normal and all the plugs are sparking, and the fuel is getting through but it won't fire up. Just hoping that somebody has any ideas or tips that might help.
firstly hello to you secondly is it trying to start when ur turning it over?
hi welcome to the forum.
I've copied this into the espero forum as not everyone visits the lounge.
the clever people will be along soon to help

Hi to you.. No it's not trying to start it just turns over but thats all.
maybe cat has melted internally blocking exhaust gasses from exiting?

Thanks for the tip. I'l have to have a look in the morning.
it's only a guess, my technical knowledge could be written on the back of a stamp

How would i be able to tell or check the cat. im ok with cars as long as its not too advanced.
pass?
maybe best to get it booked in somewhere n let them have a looksie. There could be a million one reasons really.
You sure no belts broke?

Silly question but have you checked your fuses to see if any are Blown might just be a simple as that.
If not could be the (ouch) E.C.U. unit (located in passenger footwell) try unpluging it from the wiring loom & reconnecting it, might clear it.
What were the weather conditions like when it Cut-out might be damp somewhere in the wiring.
If that dosn't solve you'r problem it could be time to call out an autoelectrician, or if your in the AA/RAC just act daft & call em out.
Hope this is some help.
And welcome to the world of the "WOO"
