PH1 172
Car: Mark 2 Phase 1
Right not sure how to describe this but here goes......
Mate and I sorted out the suspension today and my panel filter
Everything was done and we headed over to a mates then down to a Mcdonalds.....both times engine switched off
Went to start the car at Mcdonalds and it started fine as normal and then I went to go over one of those silly speedbumps (high but thin ones) and didn't at first have enough to get over so it went to fall back so I gave it a bit more power and then all of a sudden the engine has died!!! Went to start it again and nothing......the engine was turning over but was not firing and a mate pointed out that when on turnover there was no smell of petrol from the exhaust, only hot air!!!
Checked the fuel cut off switch....fine.
Got the recovery people out to come and get me and at first he thought it might be either no fuel (fuel gauge not reading right) or my immobiliser kicking in. Well filled up with petrol and nothing, left the battery disconnected for 30-45mins to reset errors and nothing.
The only thing I can notice that's different to normal before start up is before the final turn of the key there is like a wooshing noise normally (fuel pump pressurising ready to deliever fuel) but this was not happenining and was replaced by a double click like noise.......
Has anybody had this problem before or has an idea as to what it is?
The checks I will do when I get the chance will be:
1) Check all fuses
2) Open fuel tank inspection hatch under the rear seat and have a look at the connections and at this point try and start the car again and listen for it start up.
Any other ideas of what to check or what it could be?
:S :S :S :S
