cant see how a fuss (fuse?) would cause starting probs. Try taking out starter motor and checking it - might be the solenoid or relay tho.

sounds like fuel starvation.

ok thanxs will take the starter out cheers debbie

hi, i just sounds like a coincidence about the fuse but are you sure you havnt disturbed any other fuses? is it a petrol or diesel? it does sound like fuel starvation so on a petrol it could be a relay and on a diesel it could have an air leak or could be lift pump maybe?

Hang on a bit, before we start stripping it down, is the Engine turning over? if yes then its hardly going to be the starter and if no then its not fuel..

shes already said that when its jumped it starts but dies so it must turn over!

Yes, so why is she being advised to remove the starter? That was my point. But does it turn over from her own battery is also a good clue here.

my ex missis started after a jump ! it was me that stopped after :hysterically_laughi

To be honist the message is so garbled, its difficult to decide wot she means.



mite keep her quiet for a day or so, tho .

Battery connections loose, starter connections loose, earth straps loose/corroded/broken, loose wiring in switch assembly are my guesses. Then look at fuel issues, filter, lift pump, pickup, pipes.

Properly cCheck all wiring to battery, alternator and starter .., pull all plug connections and undo all bolted connections, clean them all up and re-assemble. Invariably if it starts off a jump then dies, but doesn't start off it's own battery then something is loose or fuel isn't getting through, but your description isn't entirely clear.

thanxs too all the help someone gave me a big battery from a merc van and it started on the turn of the key thanxs aswell for the joke vivnap take care all debbie
