    Sometimes to the extent that the engine appears to stall/stop if one steps on harder to pick up speed. 2. The smell of fuel comes through the air vents, on and off. 3.  When parked, it leaks fuel at both the front and rear  (apparently from the engine; and also at the rear, close to the exhaut outlet).

• Vauxhall Zafira - Zafira Won't Start - Help! 29 May 2013 (Forum)
    He seemed to think that it could be something called an emergency fuel shut of switch that needed resetting but there wasn't one (unless any of you know of one?!). He tried disconnected one of the injector pipes and found that the fuel was coming out but slowly. He also tried jump starting it but that didn't work either.

  hi i have a expert 2.0 hdi the mil light kept coming on n off. so i change the fuel filter (seamans) and once i dont that all hell broke lose. now my cab has many different codes. starts up everytime idle no problems drives well but once you are up to speed say in 4th or 5th take your foot of the power then try to reapply engine has cut out apply clutch cabs out cold have to take key out of ignition to get it restarted as if you dont will never start. also when in idle when you turn cab off it over runs 2/3secs but if u have small revs cuts out staight away. also if u hold the revs at 2000 after 5 secs will rev itself up as if you have applied the power hard. i have checked the wiring and found some dodgy wires replace no different changed the filter again nothing. changed the fuel rail sensor nope changed the fuel temperature sensor nope. peugeot say they think its sucking in air from somewhere???

• Vauxhall Corsa C - Car will not start, Help please! 17 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I have drained the ECU also to try and reset this and remove any faults, with no affect. I have a spark at each plug, and appear to be getting fuel in the cylinder and if i relieve the fuel pressure at the injector rail it repressurises when next attempting to start. I have checked the fuel pump relay and the ignition relay also which I belive are good.
