Car wouldnt start

We had some really bad rain in Dundee last night (whats new eh   ) and this morning my car wouldnt start. Put key in ignition and turned until fuel pump was primed and buzzing, turned the key again and……… nothing  

Just a click from the relay/fuse board area, then nowt. I tried to start the car and again nothing…. I put my hand down in beside the relays and just gave everything a general hit, and hey presto, next turn of the key she fired.

Same thing happened once i got to work, this time i actually wiggled the relay board slightly and again she fired up.

Any ideas on whats causing this, im supposed to be fitting my inlet manifold, audi TB and 4 branch this afternoon. They are going to be useless if i cant get my car to start  :cry:

I'd check the fuel pump relay and the pins where it plugs into, maybe a bit of corrosion in there.

Thanks for that mate

What number is the fuel pump relay?

Should be No 2.

wont be the pump relay if engine wasnt turning over, sounds liek the fuseboard has a loose plug round the back. follow ign switch wires as far as you can and see if there are any breaks in the wiring. drop fusebox down and have a good look back there, plus check for any dodgy looking earths
