Description

Car had new front suspension arms and new cam belt in April 2024, along with wax undercoat as minor rusting on underneath of car developing. Passed MOT 4th July 2024, then developed an intermittent hesitation during acceleration which over time got more frequent. Clutch was replaced 8th July, then also replaced spark plugs and distributor cap. Fault codes logged were 11, 13, 15. Replaced Throttle Position Sensor (Mazda one not third party) Aug 2024 but did not resolve issue. Finally, after resetting fault codes (removing negative from battery and pumping brake pedal) car now will not start. Turns over but does not fire - doesn't appear to be getting anything through any of the HT leads, so could be failed distributor. The arm looks ok, but I'm not a mechanic so don't hold me to that. Comes with a new MAP sensor, not fitted. Got to the end of my tether with it, it's a shame as it was running perfectly and was 100% reliable until this last fault and is a really clean well looked after car for it's age. No dents, would be perfect for a learner driver if you can fix the fault? Or would be great as a donor car for any enthusiasts out there. Next MOT due 13/07/2025, Silver, 4 owners, £400
