I have had my Honda Jazz for almost 2 years and it has started straight away every time.
When I turn the ignition I do not need to depress the accelerator.
Last Sunday I needed to check the mileage and did not realise it could be done without starting the engine. You live and learn.
I started the engine, looked a the mileage and turned it straight off.
On Monday I went to start the car to go to work and it would not start, I tried a few times until the battery was getting low, then called the breakdown company.
An engineer came out in about 1 hour and said it was flooded, kept trying to start it until the battery was almost flat, sprayed something into the air filter (high octane?) and used his portable battery pack, had another go and eventually it did start.
He said that if I had left it for half an hour it would probably have started, but I had left it for 1 hour.
I think (and am most probably wrong) that me starting it up and turning it off straight away on Sunday caused the problem, and it had not reset by Monday. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on that.
It has been fine since but I am a bit concerned that it could happen again and I won't be able to start it.
