John Fossey Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 About a mile into my "blat" yesterday my engine (VVC)had a sudden and terminal power failure. The engine turns over but doesn't fire up. In association with this, as I turn the ignition I have a buzzing from what I believe from the parts manual is the MFU unit. So, a couple of questions as I'm no expert on electrics: What is the MFU (small black box underneath the ECU unit)? Would it's demise result in the above problem? Any advise would be good.

Allen Payne Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 I believe that the black box contains various relays etc. including the one for the fuel pump. Did you try resetting the interia fuel cut-out switch? (the small back box with a rubber cap normally bolted to the bulkhead).

Ade Ray Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 I recently had a very similar problem with my 1600 xflow. I was convinced I had oiling plugs and various other maladies with the basic problem of turning over but not firing and a buzzing from under my dash. the answer was a faulty kill switch which was only properly connected when turned past the usual 'on' position. Vibrations from a fast blat nudged the switch just out of position with the result as described. Mr car actually died in mid-blat once. I dont know if you have a kill switch but this might be worth a look. Make the world a better place, hug an estate agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
