Hi,
Its a 1.1 ford feista 93, carb model. Previously over the last couple of months it was stalling but would start fine.
Now its failing to start most of the time unless i do a trick I read about which is,
1. pull the number 20 fuse out for the INJ,
2. then start the car the engine catches then dies
3. then i start the engine again but as the engine catches I push fuse in and bingo its up and running. Please note it doesn't work if I put the fuse back in after step 2 and start it, I have to push it in as it starts for it to work.
This did the trick for a good few times now Im finding it will kangaroo for a bit after then sort itself out. i've googled the problem and there seems to be a lot of people with same problem on the same model year upto 93,94, alot detail the trick I used but nothing says what the problem is, does anyone know ? And can it be a DIY fix ? The car is worth peanuts but is a elderly relatives car so is low miles and immaculate condition, seems a shame to scrap it
