#1: My 206 just will not start Author: jimmy, Location: flitwickPosted: Thu Jun 16, 2011 11:07 am ---- Hi all,
I have a 1999 1.6 8v GLX that just refuses to start. It was absolutley fine, I left it sitting for 3 weeks and now nothing. It seems as if the fuel pump is not working and there is no spark either. I have checked all silly things like petrol, fuses and lose attachments. I had the RAC out who plugged it into there diagnostic computer and it said there was a feul pump relay fault. I have replaced that and still nothing. The battery is fine, the car will just not go! I am really at my wits end and would really appreciate any advice.

I have tried it on both keys and tried the remote reset with no success.
I have tried an earth strap that is connected to the top of the engine with a black box on the end of it. Is that the earth strap?
There is no noise from the fuel pump at all. I lifted the back seat to find a riveted plate where the access panel usually is to get to the pump so i have not actually checked the pump itself.
I have pressed the red button at the back right hand corner of the engine bay but has not had any effect.

#8: Re: My 206 just will not start Author: jimmy, Location: flitwickPosted: Fri Jun 17, 2011 12:26 am ---- I have changed the relay. I will change the fuel pump and keep you posted. Seems to be a tricky job. The access panel is riveted so I guess it means dropping the fuel tank? Thank you everyone for your advice. I will post again when the fuel pump is changed
#9: Re: My 206 just will not start Author: jimmy, Location: flitwickPosted: Thu Jun 30, 2011 3:37 am ---- Hi again, just to let you know, I've removed the fuel pump and it is in full working order! So, I have a working fuel pump, a new relay and there is definatly fuel in the car. Now I'm stumped! I've checked the fuel cut off switch and all fuses. Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers
