Help please,
My Mrs clio is giving me grief went out to start it this morning and it fired up but died shortly after. Thought it might have been petrol so went and got some put it in and it fired up no problem. Took it to the shops for a paper and it was ok.
This afternoon i went out and same problem - it just died. I know there is petrol in it, I ve checked all the fuses and tested all the relays, all good. Fuel pump seems to be working as it primes when ignition is turned.
I suspect the spark, I dont have the the long socket to take out the spark plug and test it but i ve held the lead and never got a shock and put a wire against it. Nothing?
Will the coil still energise the plugs if say the knock sensor or tdc is broken? If there is no power in the ignition what else should i be looking at? I put a multi meter into the connection that powers the ignition unit and nothing there either>
Any ideas please?
