1.7 FI Turnover and Die Options

[claudeb]

Hi All, A newbie here, happy to get hands dirty but a bit overwhelmed by the general troubleshooting tips I've found for the D-Jet. Hoping for something specific before I have to start tearing the whole thing apart.

Turn the key and it catches right away but dies within seconds; various mindless impulsive pedal pumping strategies seem to make only the slightest difference.

Am tempted to present some history, but it's short (< 2yrs) and very complicated.

Thanks

The above site is a very good one. Sounds like you might have a fuel delivery problem. Does your fuel pump run for a few second when you turn on the ignition (before trying to start)? If not I would first check your relay (left side of engine compartment on of all things, the relay board). Try to find a known good relay either on the relay board or perhaps headlight motor relay and swap it in. Of course it could also be the fuel pump. The Anders information should help you out as well as the search function on this board.

Good luck,

Keith
