Good day, I have a 2004 Citroen C8 that stopped and I can't start it, the engine turns but it doesn't start. I'm stranded. Thank you

Check if there's fuel in the tank and listen for the fuel pump noise when you turn the key to the "on" position. If you don't hear it, the fuel pump might be faulty. If the pump is working, inspect the spark plugs and ignition system for any visible issues. If you're unable to resolve the issue, it's best to contact roadside assistance or a mechanic for help. Let me know if you have any further questions.

If you have already checked the fuel pump and ignition system, another potential issue could be the crankshaft position sensor. This sensor is crucial for engine timing and if it's faulty, it can prevent the engine from starting. If possible, have this sensor inspected. Please update us on your progress or if you have more questions.

It's possible that the fuel system could be the issue, especially if the car has been sitting for several months. The fuel could have evaporated or become stale, which can prevent the car from starting. Try adding some fresh fuel and a fuel stabilizer to the tank. If this doesn't work, the fuel pump or injectors might be clogged or faulty. Please let us know how it goes and if you have any other questions.
