2004 Clio 1.2 16v won't start

[Kyle Purvis]

Hi there new to this forum looking for a bit of help about my clio.

Last night i went out to go home after work went to start my car but nothing not even cranking at all lights come on but nobody's home lol.

So got into work this morning went to start it and it worked switched it off to try it again but nothing again.

At the weekend i stripped the inlet manifold off to clean the throttle body as was having faults with it running like crap and poor idling.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

sounds like the immobiliser has a problem. Do any lights stay on the dash when it won't turn over?

The only lights that stay on are stop and battery light the immobiliser red lights goes off after a few seconds.

well that's that ruled out then. Maybe it's the crank sensor

It doesn't crank at all might phone the breakdown company get them to have a look at it

does it click when you turn the key? have you tried to jump start it?

It doesn't click when you turn it over no not tried jumping it are these cars notorious for been like this?? Its also been running like crap with it hesitating on acceleration poor mpg also.

Try and give it a jump start as the battery be kaput. That would be my first point of call
No they aren't at all. Maybe the lambda is gone although I've never had a 1.2 so can't comment particularly on matters specific to your engine size.

Had the breakdown just in the boy hit the starter with a hammer and it started straight away so think that's the fault there. Its running really rich at the moment so think the lambda has gone.

Agree with both of those
