57 Plate Nissan Micra won't start

[Rig Pig]

I have played with a Ford with a similar fault - turned out that the fuel pump in the tank is wrecked if it's run dry.

Leave her to it. When it costs her hundreds of pounds to sort out problems she caused through laziness she might think twice.

aye but whose hundreds of pounds is it

I don't mind working on my own car, and if she hadn't spent 2 weeks blaming the stupid pay as you go box it could have been sorted long ago

 

[angellonewolf]

or upgrade your other half rather than the car ?

 

[Kayos]

Sorry for any confusion, my sister has a Micra that's dead on my driveway, my other half wants to buy a micra

These are 2 very different people

Not working on cars belonging to your immediate family I think I understand, but why not your own?

It is a fuel problem

Turn ignition on and fuel pump does nothing, all fuses ok so according to the manual it could be a loom fault, however as my "help" has let me down I can't start checking the basics

Guess it's gonna sit for yet another week

Connect a meter to the pump connections if you get power pull the pump out and test it

When you hear the sound of hooves, don't think "Zebras".......

Pump only goes live for 1 second, hence needing help to test but been let down so not really interested in straining to hold the meter on and track over while I turn the key

Good answer, its a Nissan service manual that assumes a level of knowledge I don't have

 

[Tinbasherdan]

id agree that it sounds like a filter or pump issue somewhere down the line. give it a sniff of easy start and if she fires up its definitely fuelling

A friend came to help, live to the pump, pulled pump and it's open circuit, gave it 12v and it did nothing

Couldn't easy start it as I have the inlet stripped awaiting service parts, she's obtaining a pump then it's gone forever
