Hi all
The thing is, my Tipo sometimes just wont start, no matter how long I crank it (I've tried it, used up my battery and nothing). The weird part is that, if i pushstart it, it acts as if nothing is wrong :S I can immediately turn it off, an turn in on again using the key, with no problems at all :S. The car doesnt even have to start by being pushed, a couple of turns of the engine are enough and then I can start normally with a key. I've tried cranking it while in 2nd gear lets say, but that wont do the trick not enough rpms i guess....
The problem occurs randomly, sometimes in the morning (most oftenly in the morning to be exact), the car never stalled or died on me once started. The engine is the 1.4 ie unit, i've noticed that when this happens, there is no spark nor fuel being injected (monopoint unit). A single spark occurs sometimes, only one, just after begining the cranking, but thats it.
I've read quite a few topics with people having similar problems like mine, and a common issue seems to be the crankshaft/pulley sensor. The thing is, I see that other peoples cars had problems like dieing during driving etc. but mine, once started, works like a charm :S
Any ideas appreciated, thanks
