we seeking advice trying everybody in the know at the mo...
our cars developed a electrical fault and hubbys banging his head on a brick wall at present .
up till wenesday been working fine then stalled and wouldnt start. after a few turns of the key i got it started and got it home, since then its started once every 6 - 8 turns of the key .. got some advice and we put a new crank shaft sensor in, a new ignition coil and cleaned the ecu relay..
any idea what he should be trying next? hes had the spark plug out to see if its firing and theres no spark.

Re: Ulysse not starting

we havn't checked that bit yet. there is no smell of petrol, even after trying to start it for about 5 minutes. so it might possibly not be.?

hubby says i dont explain things very well, he has cchecked and cleaned the connections on the ecu and on the double relay. when you turn the ignition on te relay clicks then clicks again. there is also a click from a relay in the fuse box.

how do yu tell if the fuel pump is priming?

Re: Ulysse not starting

think T's just trying to narrow it down.
TBH you can often hear the fuel pump whirring for a second when you turn the ignition on
