Broken down in maccas drive-thru!!!

Is there a way I can check that? Guessing that would be a simple fix that I could do myself?

I am thinking ignition amplifier. The one in the airbox. Really to be fair the best way forward, is to scan it with VCDS and go from there. Speculation won't fix it quickly. Certainly, if you can find a similar car, you can swap the ignition amp in dead easy.

sounds very much like fuel pump to me. i had the EXACT same symptoms (all be it in a different car) and it turned out to be the fuel pump.

did it have a Mcfish?

if so, there's your problem.

McFish will kill anything

[mk3pete]

check the fuel pump relay first.

I can't scan it cause I don't have the stuff to do it. Maybe I'm better off forkin out some cash and takin it somewhere? Sounds like it's either fuel pump or relay or ignition amplifier? I guess if it's some kind of switch or relay or something along those lines it's not a big job. I hope!!!

It's dead easy to check the ignition amplifier. Remove the coilpacks and plugs, then stick the plugs back in the coilpacks with them connected to the loom, they need to be grounded, the cam cover will do. Flick the key while watching for sparks.

Crank angle sensor is my guess.

agree, scan the car before you waste your time fidling with other stuff.

ok... low tech posibility... what condition is the fuel filter in?

And he's stated that ha doesnt have the kit to scan the vehicle...

[undisclos3d]

yeah i need to get the stuff so i can scan it, Where can i buy that from? Not sure on the fuel filter, I've had to borrow the mrs's magna for the weekend and havn't been able to check anything on the car other than the ignition amplifier like gavin said, and there is sparks. Hopefully i can drive it to work in the morning, then after work AGAIN if i can start it, drive it to my local mechanic and get him to scan it if he has time, or just leave it with him! don't want to get stuck on the highway or something. or at some traffic lights! could be awkward.
