Hi, hope some of you techno wizzards can help me!!!
I have a 1998 escort GTi, when i turn the ignition key (or press the starter button) there is no power going to the starter motor!! The dash lights are working fine, all other electrics are ok!! After a few minutes or so it will start as normal and run fine!! Its been doing that a few weeks, but now the fuel pump is not priming, the car has fuel in the tank. It has not started now for a few days (luckily i don't it yet) although when the engine turns over there is no fuel to start because the fuel pump is n't priming. Any ideas anyone???? Is it a battery earth fault, fuel pump (do they just stop working without any warning??), Starter motor, fuse box??? Anybody else had a similar problem and sorted it???
Cheers for any help
