Keyser Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Put some petrol in it and try again Your fuel light is on Other than that could be anything but sounds like she wants to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Hmmmmmm............. Is it the same every time tries to fire then dies? If it was me I'd check the plugs and maybe even pre-heat them, she sounded like she hit all 6 though then dropped off - is the Zed outside?

Keyser Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 ...needles go crazy, .......... Give the battery terminals a clean and check the earth on the engine - you got a grounding kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 weres the earth on the engine bay going to be?? thanks for help keyser nope no grounding kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Only guessing mate There are a couple - if you have a multi meter then check from the Positive terminal on the battery to the engine block - should read the same as across the battery. If you have a second car and some jump leads try that see if the extra amperage will give her what she needs, I recon she will start and just needs warming through. Think the fuel pump fires up thought I heard it in the vid it should come on for a few seconds after the ignition is on then go off - constant running means no fuel. Give the car a break for a few minutes between cranks I burned out a starter when mine was playing up!
