Right, help needed from you engine experts!!
Mrs went to start the car this morning, sounded like it was starting normally, but she didn't keep the key turned long enough for it to actually fire.
Car then wouldn't start for her at all (women
) I disconnected the battery and left it for 30 seconds, reconnected and it still wouldn't start
Quick putting on some shoes and whizzing her to work in my Saab (means I have to bloody go and get her too!!)
Got home, still wouldn't start, sounded like it was trying, so i floored the accelerator. It then slowly spluttered into life, it ran normally for the new minutes I left it.
Could it be something my mrs did? Will it work normally now? Or is something fuel pumpy/coil packy on the way out?
Haven't been out to try it since!
