Default Got a problem!! Help!

The Month 2 or 3 times my scoob wouldnt start, it would tick over very rough for 5 seconds and then conck out, but wait 10 mins and it would be fine!!

It did it again on saturday but after waiting 10mins then trying again + Again +Again +Again, still nothing, then it was not fire'ing at all, so i called out the AA, they looked at it and said it has not spark or fuel, so they reconed the Crank sensor, they took it out give it a clean, back in and NOTHING!!

So they towed the car home and they said they cant tell me the problem but probably the sensor if not then a problem with fuel pump or electrical?? ...bit vague!!

Anyone got any ideas?? HELPPPPP!

Check fuel pump connectors under drivers side rear seat (if your car is a classic).

i had the same problem on my 1995 classic a couple of weeks ago.after much head scratching i found that somewhere from the fuel pump relay to the fuel pump wiring loom under the back seat there was a break in the wire.i ran a new wire from the relay to the loom with an in line fuse an i have had no problems since.might not be the problem in your case but it's worth a try.
