This car sat fir about 5 years without being started.
I fitted a fresh battery, it started in about 8 seconds.
I drove it about 1/2 a mile and put it back in the garage. I noted that fuel gauge showed very empty. Zero needle movement.
A few days later someone else attempted to start it. It turned over but would not start.
I added about 3L of petrol today. Attempted to start it multiple times, including with jump leads as the battery got low. Turnover time was about 3 min in total.
I assume that should have been plenty to get fuel up to the injectors.
I have zero experience with fault diagnosis on Renault Cards.
If this was a 40 year old car with a carburettor and points I would be able to quickly diagnose the issue.
I believe the attached diagram is correct for a 2001 Clio, but I have no idea where to find the various components
Please suggest what I need to check to eliminate some issues and find the problem. If possible link to photos or a video so I know where to find the items to check.
