Hi everyone,

I have read these forums in the past and have been helped by the similar problems / solutions people have. I thought it was time to contribute so I have purchased a membership. Thank you in advance for your help and to those who attempt to manage my newbie forum etiquette.

Two days ago my wife was in the city on a 28 deg c day and the disco died and would not start. after a break of about 10 mins the car started again and then ran for abou 20 mins and died again and would not restart. I travelled 2.5 hours with a car trailer and picked it up. I was able to drive the car onto the trailer. The next day was able to drive the car for about 30 mins but then it stopped and now will not start.

Is injected dual fuel
is full of both fuels
does have a near new fully charged battery
has had new coils/leads/plugs 1 month ago
when running yesterday was not running rough or missing


does turn over
no unusual lights on dash
has no spark at the plugs

Please advise

many thanks
Rich

Start studying up on failing crank sensors.

Rich, with the dual fuel set up, there could possibily be an after market part besides the CPS that is failing.
