1999 1.2 Engine cuts out. - owain859
Just picked up a clio mk2 1.2 litre.
Passed its MOT fine, but then suddenly the other day the engine cut out, so i rolled into a street, waited 5 minutes and it started again. Further down the road it did it again. I called the aa out and it started fine and ran perfect. Then later on it did it again, but this time wouldn't start.

The aa came out had a fiddle with the fuel relay and it started fine, However its stuck at my house now, not starting.

Could it be an intermittent fuel pump? fuel relays? crank sensor?

If it stops on the move I would suspect crank sensor. Had fuel pump relay issues on a scenic recently but that just wouldnt start, had fault code logged for power supply failure to injectors and fuel pump.
You may be lucky and find a code stored for no rpm signal.

Nah it not crank sensor,
Got a new one but still won't start.
Sounds like relay issues, because it will not start anymore.
