We bought said car about a year ago. Recently, we have had problems with the car that it doesn't have power when pulling away. I had to literally rev the engine so it won't stall. I felt like an idiot at every traffic light and stop street.
Anyways, a week ago, the car cut out and I couldn't get it started again. Hubby towed car home and we asked a mechanic what could be the problem. He said to replace the fuel filter, which we did. But the car still won't start. We have replaced the spark plugs too, as the mechanic said maybe some of the spark plugs aren't working properly. (We just had the car at the mechanic middle Feb as the cambelt needed to be replaced so we can't afford to have him look at the car again right now.)
The engine turns. But it just won't start.
Also, I noted at times (not always) that the headlights (and accordingly dashboard light) would come on. And this whilst the engine and the lights are off??
Please help.
