My partner came home saying her car wont start. Its a 1995 1.4 Tigra.
I went and had a quick look (not that i know much about cars, but im a bloke lol)
When the ignition key is turned, the dashboard lights are all iluminated and when fully turned a clicking sound can be heard, but the engine does not even attempt to fire.
Sometimes the engine management light flashes and sometimes it doesnt.
The only other thing i was gonna mention is my other half paid around £300 about 6 months ago to have a new ecu valve fitted (or old one repaired? cant remember)
Is this possibly linked to current problem as dont wanna be forking out £300 again
I had a previous problem like this on my old car (Peugeot 306) and it was the immobiliser. Problem was rectified by disconnecting the battery leads for a few minutes then reconnecting and then quickly jump in car and press and hold a button under the steering column whilst turning the key.
Is there a similar solution for this Tigra?
TIA
