hi
i had trouble with my cabin heater but now things have just got worse,
my car has just died, it first stuttered and then lost power but still drove.
but when i stopped and try to start the car it does not want to know,
it is getting fuel from the tank and the fuel filter but there is no smoke.
no fuel coming out of injector pump, but no warning lights on, on the dash.
cannot locate a fuel cut off solenoid on pump.
anyone ever had this problem.

Hi, got the alhambra engine sorted. Turned out that the cam sensor
was faulty. this was caused by the timing belt shredding due to a faulty
belt tensioner and a part of the belt hit and damaged the cam sensor.
