MG TF Fails to start
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2023 5:03 pm
Hi Folks, hoping for some guidance. I have a 2003 MG TF that we have had since new. Recently it has let us down. It is always after we have driven somewhere, never at first start up. when returning to the car it will start with very low revs that fluctuate, then when you hit the throttle it will die. If you then try and start again it will just crank and crank. Leave it 5 minutes and it will turn over again but will again have a low erratic idle and then cut out.
It has let me down twice now and both times I have had it recovered to garages, when they get round to look at it it starts first time, no fault codes and no indications to any problem. The second garage had just called me saying there is nothing wrong and I can collect.
I am fearful, as this is my wifes car, that she will be left stranded somewhere...
Has anyone had a similar issue and found a solution?
All my fingers and toes crossed..
