Van won't start!
Posted: 03 Aug 2015, 21:18
So my 2.0 CU auto camper has developed a fun new quirk...
If I start it and it only runs for a few seconds before stopping the engine, occasionally it will then refuse to start. This has happened with the engine hot and cold. The dash lights come on, the fuel pump whirs away but the final twist of the key results in silence. Something is drawing power on this final twist as the battery drops from about 12.5V to about 11.8V but nothing happens. 5 minutes later it'll start fine.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Dickie
