Broken down :(

[CoolTiger]

first time in 2 years(isj) of owning it my car broke down :( think its something todo with the petrol i put in, i put it in after work drove about 2 miles and it started to loose power, so continued on towards home after about another 6 miles all power was lost now it just turns over doesnt start, weve put some wd in the injector and it began to fire and then dies again so tomorrow get some fuel to put into the injector to see if it is that, can you claim anything if the petrol station sold you dodgy petrol

bp?

[CoolTiger]

asda,

[Jack]

Did you put diesel in it? lol

[CoolTiger]

no 100% about that, even says unleaded on the recepit

[Dave.]

You diddnt add 2 bottles of "NOS" drink...i mean additive did you? lol

[General Baxter]

lol

Just a thought, might be water in the petrol.

Get some carb cleaner down the throttle body, it will deffo start then, better than WD-40.

[CoolTiger]

nope which annoys me is i wasnt short of fuel just thought id fill up while passing wasted about 25£ of fuel

How do you know your fuel pump hasnt died?

[Adam]

Is it a 1.2spi?
Could be a load of things.
Fuel pump, pump relay, coil, dizzy....

[CoolTiger]

dont think so, but didnt think of that

put a spark test on it at work all cylinders were sparking so not spark side

[Adam]

Is the injector injecting fuel when you crank it?????

[bmw156]

hole in your tank lol.

and sounds like it could be fuel pump, if it started with some wd then died. would mean the wd has been burnt and it died again.

give the fuel pump a whack

[Jack]

What condition are the plugs? I'm assuming you've pulled them out to check.

[rednova]

may just be some crap it your lines (cue max and paddy - urgghhh who'd do that joke)

[AlexW]

You cant just wack the pump, its inside the fuel pump for a start.

He already knows what to do tomorrow, could be water in the fuel or somthing as silly as a dirty filter on the injector.

It started on 2 cylinders while at the side of the road

[CoolTiger]

right before work i had to go at doing it, pump was pumping sparks were sparking,so ive took my injector off put my other one on tomorrow if still doesnt fire going to take the exhaust off incase its blocked (my dad said to)

DAMNNNNN

[AlexW]

If its got fuel and spark it could be the cat blocked. No water in the fuel and it acualy smells of petrol?

[CoolTiger]

smells of petty, gonan check for water tomrrow didnt have a clear bottle, and gonna unbolt the down pipe see if it starts i thought the cat could of died due to the exhaust sounding louder

[CoolTiger]

fixxed slipped a few teeth and didnt bend any valves :D:D:D

[AlexW]

Adam its a 1.2 8v, valve safe and because its a 8v it would more than likly snap the valves.
