-- Posted by sweenie at 6:54 am on July 14, 2008 okay so my problem is when i try to run my car I can turn the engine over but it won't start running then i tried pumping the gas pedal to see if that would help and it ran only as long as i pumped the pedal but if i hold the gas pedal down it stalls & quits anyone tell me what this problem might be caused by? -- Posted by bravosquadsas at 6:56 am on July 14, 2008 sounds like your starter motor might be playing up, or youve got a fuel intake problem. Phone up your local service garage and ask them if they've got a better idea. -- Posted by sweenie at 7:06 am on July 14, 2008 My Starter is fine it'll run the battery down trying to Start the car if i'm not careful -- Posted by tait at 7:21 am on July 14, 2008 Have you got petrol in the car. Not being patronising it happens more often than you think. -- Posted by sweenie at 8:38 am on July 14, 2008 Quote: from tait at 7:21 am on July 14, 2008 Have you got petrol in the car.
