Big Mark Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Driving along a country lane the car seemed to lose power so I changed down, but it keept losing power unless I was at a stand still. As fuel was a bit low I thought the gauge might be faulty so stuck a gallon in but still nothing. It turns over but just won't start Not good as I have a job interview 90 miles away tomorrow, morning, the ex cancelled the joint rac membership even tho she said she wouldn't as the cost was about the same and the car is far too close to various pikey sights so probably won't be there after tonight. Any ideas. Oh, it's only an old L-reg Mk3 golf gti , but it's all I can afford thight now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 check all fuse's would be my first point, then make sure your fuel pump is working, after this make sure you have a spark from the HT lead to make sure your electrics are good.
