    Default Help please

    hi all,

    Well yesterday i drove my car for a hour didnt have no problems start first go and drove perfect. i got home and went to go back out again and the car started but had rough idle and just didnt start, now it wont kick over now? i pulled one end of the fuel filter off and there is no petrol going through so i am thinking its the pump? can anyone help me?

    Thanks james

    check you fuses before u startt spending money on fuel pumps to test your theory.

    also, possibly flat battery, cars do run like ass when the battery is screwed.

    checked fuses all okay, its new battery aswel so its gonna have to be the pump.. rang sprint auto and they said $100 but another store told my dad that it depends on what model it is? its a 2001 vx berlina series 1..
