AoA members,
I wanted some help regarding my Cultus 08 efi. There have been a few times when (especially in morning) the car wont start. It keeps cranking but wont start. When checked, I found no current in the spark plugs so I opened up the distributor and did some service after which the car came back to life just like normal. This happened 2-3 times now and today when it happened, all I did was to tap the relay box and then reset the ECU (removing battery for 5 sec) and it started without any problem.
I was curious what could be the possible reason behind this. Every time it happened in the morning only and only current supply was disconnected, fuel pump and everything was working just fine.

Is it the distributor or the ECU somehow tells the system to stop due to anomaly? Kindly share your cultus experience if you guys have any. Thanks a lot

i think something is loose, or a broken wire

Hi, yeah I thought the same but when I tried debugging it by checking current at every step e.g coil, fuse box etc, I couldn't find it any where. When its gone, its just gone from entire section.

@usman actually it was due to faulty cable that connects the coil with the distributor. I opted for a kabali one and never had the issue afterwards. Also note that the spark plugs would seize to spark if there is any issue related to electrical components of the engine.
