Title: engine cuts out
Post by podge on Oct 19^th, 2019, 11:52am

Hi, drove the car out of the garage ok, waited 2/3 minutes and the engine died no way would it start. pushed back on to driv way, next morning fired up, I used it all that week no problem.
Filled up to half a tank of petrol and on leaving on my way home did the same - cut out while waiting at traffic lights, 2 chaps came to my rescue and pushed me back to Tesco car park, I called out Green Flag and was towed to a garage as there was no fuel getting through, relay 17 was checked, Any ideas?
Paul.

Hi,
there is a (automatically) fuel-pump switch off in the case of accidents in the trunk. By my 2.0 16V Estate (LHD) it is positioned left back side near the rear lights behind the cover. Check there the red button and the plug. Forscan can self-check the fuel pump per OBD2.
