Hi people I am in a bit of a bother here
1) car is cranking but not starting
2) electric windows and indicators randomly not working.
I tried searching the forum but not sure on where to get started.
1) engine is cranking but not starting this happened for the 1st time on Friday night so called AA, so he checked by opening the air box and spraying something into the air box and the car wanted to turn, so he new that the car was not getting fuel, he then checked the fuses and they were fine, he managed to touch the fuel pump and magically the car started up.
then on Saturday it started up fine drove the car around and went to the local garage where it decided not to start up again (good job as well) so left it with him. he tried to check the car later that day and it started up so he said he will check on Monday
The fuel pump was changed last year as it was leaking and I believe the local garage replaced it with a pattern part. could this be the problem or are there other areas that I should look into
2) Now this has happened twice and again randomly, the 1st time was a few months ago and I thought nothing of thinking it was having a weird day, I turned off the car and re-started and had been fine until 2 weeks back when it happened again, again it was a case of turn off and turn and was fine, has anyone else experienced this or can someone point me in the right direction to work out what this could be?
Thanks in advance
