Clio has failed to procede...

[ASBO]

Folks,

Last night my wee runabout conked out on me all of a sudden. it's a '98 50k mile Clio 1.2 and I'm not sure what the problem is. The engine will turn over but not fire. it had been running fine before hand.

Is there anything common that tends to cause these things to suddenly die?

They're French?

Seriously though, throttle bodies and ECUs can both be problem areas.

As can running out of fuel....

Cheers,

FT.

Try the coil packs, they are a fairly common fault

Sounds like Crank Sensor

Crank sensors don't NORMALLY fail while the engine is running, they usually refuse to start, but anything is possible. Will need a modified connector with it if you fit new sensor. Cambelt is common failure given the age if not replaced previously,

could be the main relays which are located under the fuse box cover, in the engine bay at the side of the battery, three little relays all in a line. check they are switching. also, whats the immobilser light doing
