Car died randomly and won't start! Help!

 Wed 31 Oct 2012 02:21:46 PM
Hey guys,

I drive a '95 Micra LX 1.3, has done 120000km. Car died randomly in traffic today and wasn't able to be restarted. Car still cranks normally. The car was left alone for an hour and magically started first go. Car was then driven 10-20km and then wasn't able to be restarted after being switched off. Car still cranks normally and has full power.

Any suggestions what the issue might be? Dizzy/Fuel Pump/Injectors??

Cheers
Doom

sounds like the common dizzy fail, have you checked for a spark ?
