I turned my car on this afternoon, and after a few seconds the revs died to nothing.
I tried again a few times, with the same result.
I thin tried with my right foot planted on the accelerator, this made it rev louder at the start; but it still died a second or two later.
One thing to note, the rev meter did not move once, it was planted on zero.
The guy driving the recovery truck had a look, and said it was most likely a dead fuel pump.
Does anyone else have a better idea?
