Ford Fiesta Finesse 1.25 03

[Cdwell]

Hi all,

 

I have not used my car for two days and went to go out in it earlier and it would not start. Initially when I turned the key the engine ran for a few seconds and then cut out. I went to try it again but it would start...It sounds like it wants to start but it wont and there is a full tank of petrol. I have checked all the fuses and they are fine. Does anyone else have any ideas of what it could be? - I have included a video clip.

I know it cranks, but it just sounds like its turning over a bit slow? Maybe that's just how those Fiestas are idk. Perhaps do a quick voltage check to rule out the easy stuff.

When you turn it to ignition can you hear the fuel pump start and then stop after a second or two?

Leads and coils are always failing on these sorts of cars, but maybe do a proper spark plug test before spending money.
