Guest rhombus Posted October 19, 2008 I have a 1.9 205 CTi with an irritating intermediate starting problem. About one time in twenty the car will not start but the starter turns the engine over. I have put a spark plug tester between the lead and the end plug and the little neon light does not come on. If I then take out the end spark plug and turn it over on the starter it then starts on three cylinders , or at least shows signs of firing. If I screw the plug back in and reconnect the lead it starts up fine. Any suggestions about what the problem is or what should I replace first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted October 21, 2008 Could be ignition amplifier, dodgy HT leads, lose wire. Check the wires from the coil first and do some wiggle testing before buying anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
