Guest dales Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 hi i have an e reg 1.6 fuel injection xr3i cab when i try to start some times the relay kicks in and the car starts it would not tick over so i adjusted screw and now ticks over but next time i try to start it you cant hear the relay and it will not start some one said it could be the relay or the ignition module how do i check before buying parts also i can get a donner car for £100 which is same model but an f plate but the ignition module is at the bottom of the distributer and mine is at the top the rest of the car is simmiler beinf fuel injected is it worth buying this to change parts over i need to get problem fixed as when i drive it it always stalls and will not restart causing me to tow it many thanks brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hagondaz Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) hey i had this problem starts good everytime for about 2 weeks 'ish' then this morning didnt wanna know. i thought i sussed the starting problem that sounds similar to mine, the AA guy said the module was creating a good spark to the plugs just at a delayed time due to the module being faulty nothing to do with my timing, battery or coil. i'm changing it over tomorrow and the two they had from my spares place we £35 and £38 i considered it worth doing anyways to get it out the way. sorry not that helpful, but they're rough prices to way up whether it's worth changing? also i dunno if this is anything to do with the fuses or relays? but my headlight relay does wiggle it's way loose from the fuse box and my headlights go off mid driving, could be something to do with that maybe but obviously not your headlights? im no expert :S Edited April 5, 2009 by hagondaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
