Hi. I've got a Fiat multijet for my sins and just tried to start it up. It starts ok but then just cuts out after about 2 seconds. Tried 3 times and same thing happens. It's a diesel. Any ideas? |

"Certainly sounds like fuel pump. They can stall sometimes. Sometimes a good whack gets them going again. If not it's a new one. "
Where's the fuel pump? |

"Air in the fuel system might need bleeding
OK not something I could do?"
Probably. However the main question remains as to why and how air has got in. It may solve it now but it will reappear.
Garage job I think. |
