My mum & dad's 1.3 felicia will start straight away, run for about 2 seconds then stop; it will keep restarting/stopping. There is plenty of fuel in the tank, and when running there is no misfire. I think it has the single point injection. Any ideas as to cause?

Could be the fuel pump

but then your car won't start like mine didnt!!!

Theres a few threads here with a few issues.

Coils, plugs.....

Sounds like an immobiliser problem, has the key fallen to pieces lately?

I would second that thought my spare key starts the car but cuts out within 5 seconds if you have another key try that:thumbup:

Thanks for the replies. Car collected to be sorted by local garage today - will let you know what it is.

Top marks guys - it was the key! Thanks again for your help.
