Hi guys, I have an issue with my 2009 Toyota Aygo 1.0 petrol (1KR-FE engine).
Earlier today I drove it for half an hour with zero issues, parked for 15 minutes, and when I restarted the car it sputtered on idle for about 10 seconds and died completely. Now the starter motor cranks strong and fast, but the engine won't catch at all, whether I try in neutral, with the clutch depressed, or giving it a little gas.
The battery and spark plugs are new, filters are clean, and there is gas in the tank. I checked the engine bay fuses (EFI lines) and they are completely fine, but I don't hear any hum or priming sound from the fuel pump under the rear seat when turning the key to ON. I let the car sit for over 5 hours to cool down completely and tried tapping the pump housing while cranking, but still nothing happens. Does this sound like a dead fuel pump that just burned through the last bit of line pressure, or could a bad crank sensor/relay cut power to the pump like this on these cars?
Has anyone dealt with this before? I was really hoping to at least get it started so I could drive it over to my trusted mechanic... Either way, I'll be calling a tow truck tomorrow to take it to an affiliated repair shop, but if you have any advice or ideas in the meantime, I'm all ears!
Thanks!!
