Just Won't Start!

[discoian]

Hi there,

 

I have a Y-reg (01) Picasso 1.6 SX. Some time ago I stupidly let the fuel run right out. As a consequence of this, the engine management light came on. Now, the engine management light has come on before for no reason, so I don't know what's up with that.

 

Since we've had the car, it has had the problem of stalling when approaching roundabouts, t-junctions, etc. Just as you push the clutch down to change gear, it sometimes just cuts out.

 

Now recently, it's got worse. It's got to the point now where it doesn't turn over to start, it just makes a noise, kind of like an "electrical" sort of noise.

 

It eventually does start, but it's a bit annoying.

 

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Hi, I got exactly the same problem with my '51 except for the non-starting!

Hope it doesn't get to that stage

It does the stalling and a few other things in the past like no cd/radio, no indicator lights/sound on the dash when used???

 

Does any know the cause of these problems?

 

Perhaps it is the computer software?

 

Is there a patch?

 

If anyone has any info then it will be much appreciated!

 

Many thanks.
