Hi there ! Freelander 1 1.8L k-series Facelift 2005. Starts up with start gas sprayed in air intake then dies - otherwise turns over but won't start! New sparks last summer. Full power in battery.
Can it be its not getting petrol ? Would that be petrol filter or pump ? Inertia switch?
No engine warning light or error codes on reader either.
I put 2L from a 5L spare tank in a week and a half ago - i mix 2 stroke oil in 5L tanks for my snow scooter at 2% ratio. The 2L was not desiel and i'm pretty sure it wasn't remains of a 2% petrol/oil mix. There was 3/4 tank of petrol already in the car, approx. 45L.
Had the car for 7 years and haven't changed/done anything to the fuel pump/filter.
Any ideas on what to check over ? Wouldn't a failed petrol pump give a code etc ? Can so little 2% 2 stroke oil in a 2L petrol mix poured into 45L petrol in the tank cause a problem with the filter/ pump injectors etc , it it was infact the case ?
Also, how do you know if the inertia switch is on or off which cuts off petrol flow? Should it be easy to press in and out ?
Please let me know what you think, yours faithfully, arnodafe72
