Ok, is it doable at home without special tools? I really wouldnt want to disassemble dash, because it will be hell of a work and i will probably brake a lot of plastic bits during it. Maybe without achieving anything Also, for years there has sometimes been delay with speedometer needle, for example if i start slowly and go to 50, it even may not start moving from 0, if I knock on the protective glass, it jumps from 0-50 immediately. With more agressive starts it isnt an issue and a knock on a needle works for some time even on slow starts

Im not sure how this started, but looks like its not even dependant if the engine is running or not (towing), but over speeds of 20, i hear clicking noise which is similar to some relay noise, it does not matter if lights are or or other electronics, it stays about same at speed and goes away standing still or at low-low speed. I have no clue what could start clicking and why. Noise comes from the left side of the dash, approx....

Right again. My cars main issue will become rust, and it does not matter if you have a felly or S65, work hour costs the same and even for small patch, the costs will equal cars price. Its worth around 300£ @ best right now.

I think cleaning the coil did it, it ran without the hitch in the morning. I learned a lot, not to start from the most improbable cause, but vice versa It would have been much easier to check cables and fuses first, not last I thank you very much, ill leave the thread open for some time, to ensure problem doesnt occurr again.

Ok, cleaned the distributor cap and rotor. If I pulled the rotor up, there was a little play, ill attach the video if needed, otherwise it looed little dirty but not much, cleaned it with white spirit and compressed air and rag. It was a lot of brown goo in the grey socket of the thing in the attached image. https://dl.pushbulletusercontent.com/kgP1maI3PnQfi2sGPLXjtBJ8KpfE0oRs/IMG_20150609_182427.jpg I cleaned every spark plug wire as well. It ran from the first try and shut off and started just fine. Im going to make a longer test drive in the morning to see, if all is ok. Do you think that the dirt in the device pictured might have been the cause of the troubles?

No, there are alot more felicias, i just narrowed it to the ones with 43kw, which i presume is the only one with carburetor. If you are interested, http://www.upload.ee/?page=finished&upload_id=72487f9c22aafa45831d321fd171aa49 This table lists all the passenger cars registered in Estonia by the end of 2014, you can filter out Felicias yourself.

Could you add a image yourself what I should be cleaning Because right now im thinking of the thing under the distributor cap and rotor Also, im not sure if thats relevant in any way, the metal pipe from air intake goes to exhaust (1 end to carburetor, 1 end to exhaust), but its really rusted thin and is not really connected to exhaust, pretty much hanging freely, is that important to be connected or not? Thanks so far!

Ok, Im unable to change the last post so im writing an update here. Put everything back together, squirted little WD40 to every spark plug and distributor cap and it ran from first try. Went to a little test drive, and it stalled....did not start again, I removed the distributor cap for a second and put that back on- started again and I drove home. Dont know what to do now... Cap looks pretty good on the inside. Rotor and cap was changed in November 2012 and has about 14 000KM behind it.

Thanks for picure, i did that and indeed there was gas in the bottle after I gave it a key few times. I am clueless if that contributes to solving this case, but I made a short clip of cranking a engine few secs. Also few static images as well, again note sure if they are relevant by any means Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms37fW4iRXM Pics: https://dl.pushbulletusercontent.com/pbBHed9hTWtOwqSu4z585VdAYvFlyQk0/IMG_20150608_183731.jpg https://dl.pushbulletusercontent.com/Z3kND51fPxCtUJAzUkZX41LZQuGiTmjH/IMG_20150608_183740.jpg https://dl.pushbulletusercontent.com/TeDE2ZJCoqzxZq3DAuzfESsrSWHMrzdC/IMG_20150608_183748.jpg Update: Tried checkin spark with the far left and far right spark plugs, didnt see any. However, while left spark plug was out i managed to get the engine running on three cilinders, i turned it quickly off and plugged the 4th in. It did start again with little trouble and ran for several seconds OK, but at the starting moment rev counter went haywire jumping all over the place. Then it stalled and failed to start again. spark plugs did look quite wet to me.

Thanks! I guess i didn`t know where to look, since i had no clue how it should look like And i figured it must pump the gas directly from tank. So I guess silence in the cabin at the moment of ignition is expected. I guess I could tap on it to see if it changes anything and then...?

Car had not been driven for a week or so, usual procedure- 2 steps on throttle and ignition, it started, i quickly moved it 5 meters onto a small incline and it stalled and did not start again. Weather was perfect, +18c and sun for days, no moisture (ignition part was changed a year ago anyways). Car battery was just charged to full. I removed the fuel filter (2 months old), blew through it just fine. Checked fuses, which none were blown. If I turn ignition on, car is dead silent just the relay click in the fuse box. This brings me to fuse box once again, i browsed the forum, and I found info, that relay for fuel pump is R5, but as you can see from my following photo, R5 in my car isnt being used at all and sticking something to there doesent do anything and manual does not explain the coding of relays, only fuses. PICTURE OF FUSE BOX https://dl.pushbulletusercontent.com/eBDAEUi6tRr5LPPXvt5A6btpNu4Yms0Z/IMG_20150607_221223.jpg So i belive this is connected to the fuel pump, maybe not the pump itself but just relay. Can you guys point out which relay controls the fuel pump so I could just swap it for some other one in the box to see if I get the pump humming. BTW, where is the pump itself located, is it inside the gas tank, under gas? Thanks a lot.
