  • Electrical problems? Problems with starting?

    Hi all,

    Posting this for a friend's girlfriend's sister! Here's the problem:

    The prob seems to be electrical as shes having problems starting, but not all the time. Plugs, leads and distributor have been changed. The garage have wraped the starter motor in foil and charged her 200.00. Car has been able to be bump started.

    Any help much appreciated!

    Cheers,

    Paul.

      What year PGT? If it's a '93 or '94, and it can be bump (push) started, the problem is most likely in the distributor (specifically, the CKP #1 sensor).

        He says he's going to see what the garage did and get back to me. It had the distributor replaced and still did it.

        Cheers anyways
