Citroen C3 Ignition Problems

I encountered a similar predicament with my Citroen C3. The symptoms you describe resemble an issue I addressed. Have you considered a defective fuse within the ignition system? A compromised fuse can precipitate a constellation of electrical anomalies. What diagnostic procedures have you done, specifically concerning the fuses associated with the ignition circuitry?

Cheers for the quick response! Yeah, I did have a quick look at the fuses, but honestly, I didn't test them properly. Just a visual check. Which fuse exactly are you thinking of? And did yours also have the rough running issue along with the starting problem?

Yes, the erratic engine performance was indeed related to the starting difficulties I experienced. Regarding the specific fuse, I lack the precise designation. However, consulting the vehicle's schematics, a qualified automotive technician should be able to pinpoint the relevant fuse responsible for the ignition circuit. Given the symptoms and the complexities of automotive electrical systems, I'd advocate seeking professional diagnostic services to ascertain the issue.

Okay, thanks a bunch for the advice! I properly checked all the fuses, and you were spot on - it was a blown fuse! Replaced it, and she's running like a dream again. Cost me 52€ for the fuse and the peace of mind. Legend!
