hi all

need some advice please, ive searched the forum for a few days now but cant find a definate list of what could be the problem.

my wifes 2006 1.1 sohc getz has developed a starting problem, its quite intermittent but getting more frequent.

the engine turns over no problem but doesnt fire, can take upto 9 or 10 attempts before it fires?

ive changed the spark plugs to brand new ngk ones, no change.

what else could it be??

many thanks

Hi Tony, my daughter's 2005 1.6 litre is doing the same thing. Every now and then, it's hard to start, mainly when it's hot, but it does it when the engine is cold too.
To get the car started, I've to her to put her foot to the floor when turning the key. This works every now and then.
I think (I'm no mechanic) it could be the fuel pressure regulator...but if it looses pressure when it's hot, it would also happen when the engine's cold?
Battery is strong. Spark plugs have about 10K on them.
I don't think it's heat related.
Fuel pump on the way out?
Sorry I can't be of any help, but I'm taking it to a Dealer soon, so when I know something, I'll post it here.
