Sisters 2008 Tiida intermittently wont start. Cranks over but doesnt start
As luck would have it, it wont play up at Dealers so as far as they are
concerned there is no problem.
Blog sites have plenty of people with same complaint and only vague
suggestions of fuel pump/regulator problems. No hard and fast cure. Leaves
it for a while and it may start. Will do it 6 times in day and then not for
a few days.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
John

A "cranks,but no start" problem is either no fuel or no spark.
there's a RELAY that energizes the fuel pump,if it's intermittent,there's
not enough fuel pressure,the motor cranks and won't start.
No problem with fuel pump or regulator,just the relay.
it won't set a trouble code,either.
initial symptoms are that it starts first thing in the morning,but after it
sits in hot weather,then it starts once,dies,and then only cranks. Wait 15-
20 minutes,and the interior cools enough that the relay works again,and the
motor starts. it gradually gets worse.
then it could be a bad ignition switch.
people who have a lot of stuff on their key rings wear out the ignition
switch a lot quicker. the "Run" position takes a beating.
But the motor usually at least starts(kick over),but not stay running.
I suspect the Tiida has individual coil packs driven by the ECU,so it can't
be a bad coil. An OBD scan would show a bad coil anyways.
could be a bad ECU;that's expensive.
I'd swap the main relay first.(for my "hard and fast cure"....)
I had that problem on my Acura Integra,and resoldering the relay PCB solved
it. it was a very common problem across Honda/Acuras.

Much obliged Jim, the relay idea sounds most likely.

in 15 minute 'bits" and I just want to make sure its not spirited away in
some spot you,d never think of and never find!.
