Just went to take my vitara for a drive and it won't start, all electrics working, engine turning over from starter motor but won't fire up. Its a g16b, drove it to sport this morning and home no worries, took it for a wheel this afternoon, no worries. Now it wont start :/ need it for work monday morning, any ideas what it may be ?? Cheers, brandon |

check all fuses under dash and in engine bay. check for loose wires plugs etc under bonnet, check in case some funny crunt has removed any bits, or milked your fuel. Difficult to say from afar |

Does it crank? - Edit, just re read ur post. yes it does. If it cranks and doesn't fire, could be a few things. Could be ur fuel pump, or your plugs, or ur injectors could be cactus too. Turn on ur ignition without cranking and see if you can hear ur fuel pump turn on. Tripple check ur plugs. I've had a fuel pump die on me once. Same symptoms. Lets hope someone didnt put sugar in ur fuel tank.. |

Also, pull ur plugs out one by one, earth them on the side of the block and get ur mate to crank it and see if each plugs produces spark. I normall do this to find a dodgy lead or plug. |

Well its at it again, went for a drive with the little brother and was cruising along a gravel road, nothing stressful or strenuous, in second gear lost acceleration then it idled down and stalled. then did not start, had a few little half ass splutters but now its mostly just cranking over and not firing... it still has over half a tank of what should be good fuel, was running great til it died.. seemed very responsive and all good. stumped for ideas.. got it towed home but no light or anything to work on it tonight :/ any more ideas, im thinking maybe its just not getting fuel? il check spark when i have a chance. |

Fuel Or Coil? when you flick it to get the Reds up Can you hear the fuel pump prime up? |
