TheRedLupo Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Just got my lupo yesterday and started fine. Last night I was playing around with radio for a while and this morning the car wouldn't start. Being a complete noob I tried starting it numerous amounts of time and one of my friends thinks I could of flooded the engine? Thoughts?

TheRedLupo Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Well on cold mornings I have to press the accelerator a couple of times. Well when it didn't start I done a stupid amount of times haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when it didn't start I done a stupid amount of times hahaSounds like you have other problems. I had a 1.0 E Lupo for about 3 years and never did I have to do this, despite me having to change lambda sensor, temperature sensor, HT leads etc. All of which have the potential to stop your car firing. You might want to consider getting your ECU scanned for error codes. Edited October 14, 2013 by Skezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
