Hello.
Yesterday when I got in my car, i couldn't start it, the starter works fine and the battery also, but it just don't start...
The only way I can make it start is if i pull the air filter off and spray brake cleaner, or something like it in. If i spray some short bursts of the cleaner i can make it keep running, after 30 seconds it can idle by itself. When the engine is warm it runs like normal.
My best guess is that the engine needs fuel when I start the car, so I'm thinking it's some kind of sensor, but not sure where to start. I tried putting a cheap tester on it, and it didn't say anything.
So hopefully somebody got a clue or have tried something similar
