Hey everyone,
for most of you guys this is probably an easy question. My car hasnt been starting properly today (it did after quite a while). The starter motor turns over pretty fast and for quite a while. there is plenty of petrol and the gauge has been fine, it just dosent fire up (until the battery is almost dead) then the engine just about splutters to life. the second time was worse so I wiggled the ignition leads and knocked the dizzy with my hand, tried again and it started, just.
I was thinking maybe either dodgy ignition leads, plugs or dizzy?? what do you guys think, that is pretty much a stab in the dark for me....
Thanks again boys and girls!
