Car cut out
#1
Today after an hour drive, just as I was about the park up the car cut out and refused to start.

I couldn't tell if the lift pump was priming or not when on the second click as it was proper pissing it down.

Luckily I wasn't far from home so called my girlfriend out with my PP2k to diagnose the problem.

On her arrival and hooking up PP2k it showed no fault codes so I put it on the live parameters to see if I was getting pressure on the fuel rail while cranking the car started up as if nothing was wrong.

At first I was thinking it was a lift pump issue, after seeing no fault codes I'm now thinking it could be the brown replay?

This is my main car I use to commute so I could do with finding out the cause. 

The lift pump was replaced last year so I hope it's not that.

I'm going to order a spare relay as I think it might be that.

What do you guys think?

I guess the relay. Try unplugging it and plugging it in, might be corrosion on the pins

It could be but I think there is a rubber seal around it so that could be a issue if moisture is getting in. I'll check it out though as I'll need to clean the corrosion out the plug if there is any there.

I've seen the double relay plug with scorch marks inside it before too which could indicate other probs.....

I've borrowed the one off my estate while the new one makes it's way and drove the car to work today without issues.

When I changed it I noticed the relay click sound was a lot more positive on the replacement so hopefully that's sorted it.
