renault megane starting problems
My sister owns a 2000 1.4 16v renault megane scenic which will not start intermitently. First thing in the morning the engine turns over but will not fire, she says the problem is more noticeable after the car has been stood for a while. I have looked at it this morning but as i had no torx bits in my tool kit i could not remove the coil pack / HT lead to assertain if there was a spark or not. Lone behold the first time i tried to start it it fired straight away. I appreciate the i am only offering limited information but are there any common faults with this car that would give this problem?????? Thanks for your help

A week later :; same thing again, engine turns over ,but all the connections seem ok , so the TDC sensor stuff above is rubbish !!! reseated the engine fuse- box fuses , no joy , pulled the two large relays in engine fuse box, put them back ,,bingo , starts OK ..Im suspecting either of these relays , one of them is the fuel injection relay , I will replace these next week , could be sticking/burnt out............. A week later .... no more starting problems : must have been the FUEL INJECTION RELAY ,Renault say "they never give problems" so it must have just been a bad seating/connection , which is OK now ???

We've had endless starting problems with our 2001 1.4 Scenic. It turns over but doesn't 'catch'. A mechanic we know advised push starting or, if the battery has enough life in it, start up in first gear. It seems to work. Damn French cars. Too many sensors in them... |
