Son's Renault clio 1.2 petrol has suddenly stopped starting. Previously running fine.
Got sparks; engine runs on brake cleaner sprayed in throttle butterfly.
Fuel being delivered to fuel rail; voltage detected at injector plug.
Electronic throttle butterfly doesn't open with pedal movements. Pushing it open doesn't make it run.
No error messages on my cheap and cheerful diagnostic gizmo.
What is stopping it running - all 4 injectors wouldn't fail at once? Seems to be lack of fuel in the cylinders.
Does the fly-by-wire throttle butterfly need some sort of detection of function to open?
Not sure which bit to hit with the hammer. All advice gratefully accepted!
