Title: Starts then cuts out.
Post by: allstaruk on April 28, 2006, 12:56:28 PM
Hi

As some of you may know my car is losing coolant, anyway I have been trying to find where this is going so I have the car up on axel stands at the front and the momnet the car was running fine yesteraday.

I have just been outside and gone to start the car so i can have another loook for the coolant leak and it fires up then runs for about a second and then cuts out. The car is low on petrol its at the bottom of the guage but the petol light hasn\'t come on, would this be an effect of the fact the car is up on axel stands at the front causeing the petrol to run to the back of the tank.

Or could this be the coolant is going into the engine, surely it wouldn\'t fire up though?

Any thoughts would be great.

Alan
