will not start!!

hi folks, yet another problem. my hlx 115 wont start. ive tried jump starting but still wont budge. it was running fine but as soon as i tried to start it again. i think its maybe the fuel pump but im not sure. it just seems like one thing after another and its doing my head in. im really thinking of going for another car, but i really love my bravo any fast help would be good because its abandoned!!! lol

cheers jamie

Re: will not start!!

checked the fuel cut switch?

checked the fuses?

does it turn over?

does the fuel pump prime?

what happened before/when it stopped?

any details help, give us everything!

Ry

Re: will not start!!

fuses are all fine. was driving fine before i turned it off. was left for around 2-3 hours. its ticking over but just doesnt want to start. when it was trying to start i was pressing the accelerator but it just was seeming to make it die out, thats why i thought it was the pump. its got fuel aswell, its sitting just above 1 bar. ( lights not on yit )

sounds a little like a crank sensor failure, let it cool down fully and see if it will start, 2-3 hours sounds plenty so i'm a little confused but lets just see....
