hi guys i am new but i am after some advice please if anyone can advice me?

i have a xr2i she has been stud for over a year just had her mot which she past after some welding

she started straight away after been stud for so long which she has always has done but last week filled her with petrol at the garage and she took ages to start but finally did in the end!!!

i have left her stood again for a week and now she wont start again she just turns over and over again?

i dont think i can smell petrol tho i can hear the pump working but sounds different to normal but arnt 100% sure tho?

any help or advice would be great please or anyone who knows what it can be?

thanks in advance

might be worth putting a new fuel filter on, could be blocked.

 

thanks for that mate you wont believe it but its just started i carnt believe it honestly!!!!

where is the fuel filter located on them please i will have a look

thankyou

 

if it a 1.6 i think its in the engine bay on the passenger side

 

yeah 1.6 8v mate i will have a look just worried about going out in her again just incase it wont start need to sort it??

it couldnt be an immobaliser fault or something could it?

 

Is it sparking?

If its been stood for a year I would probably change the plugs and leads, or give them a good clean.

 

Could be fuel pump on its way out. my old focus used to do that, would start fine, then wouldnt start at all, finally got it going and it would be fine for a few days, then nothing again.

New fuel pump fixed it!

 

i dont think it will hurt changing them irs well overdue to be honest i will price some up she could do with a good service

thanks

 

i was thinking the same it sounds sort of dry if that makes sense it doesnt sound right i will try and get a price on one i think
it will have a diaphragm in it i suppose could be wrong and i suppose if its dried out could have perished could be wrong

thank you
