drove down the street to get some lunch car was running fine then when i went to start it to go home the bloody thing wouldnt start just turned over and that was it. no sign of any thing wrong in the weeks before, hadnt changed anyhting it just decied to not start.
anyone had this. i havent done any tesing yet (gotta go to work) but i think it may be the coil its about the only thing that can die like that |

in another thread, people were saying fuses, probably a good idea to check those first

That's exactly what happened in our old ED Fairmont, and it was the coil s**t itself. Parents came to pick me up from a friend's place and shut the car off to come in for a cuppa - went back out and it turned about 1/2 a turn and just stopped. Had to walk home because the falc was behind their cars lol

yeh coilpack is probably the most logical thing.
check for spark would be the first thing. has it got fuel in it? can you hear the fuel pump buzzing just before starting it?

hey hows it goin, you should check the ignition module as well because same s**t happened to me and i took it to some ecu specalist place "EFI" in balcatta, they told me it was my distributor then it worked and died again they replaced the coil pack then it did it again and they replaced the ignition module which had a small crack in it, and its been alright since. well with the occaisional completely nothing moments, think i need a better alternator or maybe just a capacitor for my stereo.
anyways good luck chief cya later |

remove the fuel hose from the rail, then see if its pumping the fuel through.

check the injectors....they might have just suddenly stopped working or something because a wire was loose? or battery terminals.....i would have thought it was sparkies due to the sudden stop....

People will say this time and time again.
Check all the fuses. There are a few under the bonnet. Make sure the CRT LMP fuse is ok as this kills the injectors.
