Hi, how are you? Hope someone can help me with this problem.
I've 2007 HONDA JAZZ SE I-DS 1339cc manual. Problem started this morning. Car starts as usual, end of my road seems like running out of petrol, but there's heaps. Engine dies. Wait a moment starts try to move off dies. Repeat about half a dozen times, same. Pushed back to my house.
Same thing, wait a while engine starts easily, runs 10-20 seconds dies. Under the bonnet I could hear a high pitch wine, followed by a click as if a valve is opened/closed. Facing the car I think I can hear a slight continous clicking noise down the left hand side.
With not much technical know how of this car I'm suspecting the fuel pump is working, as I do get fuel up to the engine to start, but maybe something is shutting it down hence the engine keeps stopping? I have not got one of those code readers so I can only work on what I can see.
Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it please? I've had the car about 8 years and it has done 160K miles, but never had any problems with it.
all suggestions welcome, cheers!
