my car was parked in the main st today when i had some things to do anyways....when i tried to start the car it was like there was no fuel i turned the key twice and didnt start then i pumped the pedel a couple of times and it started. the fuel light was on but needle has been that low before with no problems before:confused: the rain was very heavy the day before and all the roads were flooded thought maybe i got some water in the cone filter or something when going through the deep puddles..any ideas cos i tried it again when i got home and it started ok
 
hey,

mine has done that a couple of times. i just started it with the pedal on the floor :D and after about 5 mins coughing and splutting and conking out, it started fine. quite a coincidence that it happened to me after a lot of rain to dont you think. I think maybe the leads we wet with condensation or something...i hate the rain (n)

Anyway, i'd say it'll probly happen to you again, so might be an idea to have a can of wd40 to spray the leads with just incase it is that.

Hope some of that helps, or even comforts you knowing that you're not suffering alone (y)
