Hey all, need help and advice.
My 2002 se sport has been sat on my drive for a couple of months. I have ticked it over and had quick trips lasting from less then a minute to maybe 15 minutes. Not long I know!
Now I have passed my test the first start up and drive out was fine, later that day I was turning the car around slowly and not sure if I stalled but it cut out and didn’t start at all, just a failed start but lights etc were still working.
Took battery out and charged overnight and refitted this morning and started first time. Popped to the battery shop tested battery and was found to be low on power so replaced battery with a Yuasa and checked alternator which is working fine.
Drive home and last junction before home cuts out (maybe another stall on my behalf) but car again doesn’t start at all, bump started it and got it home on drive way which I then turned engine on and off about 3 times to which it started every time.
Took car down garage and mechanic said it sounds fine and to give it a blast on the dual carriageway as it’s been sat around for a while. Done that doing a good 60 for around 21 miles round trip.
Myself and my dad have stalled it on purpose a couple of times to see if it would’nt start again like before but it has started every time.
I’m very puzzled to why it has cut out and not started back up.
Any help would be very appreciated.
