Turns over but wont start!

Post by spikey167 »

Hiya people, hate to join these forums when something has gone wrong but I have only had the car two months!

So, hit a pot hole yesterday and car dies, much stress and stuff later found big red button, car starts, happy bunny.

Today I get in and it turns over, no warning messages but the car does not start, battery is good and there is fuel in the tank. I did run the car very low on fuel, not something I like to do but I did!

Its been dark when I get home so cant really get under it but looking around the engine bay I've found no other problems so I'm completely lost as to why it wont start any help would be appreciated!

Big red Button? Fuel cut off reset??
Check fuel pump fuses first.
Is it a 2.0 206CC / Hatch / SW?
