I just came back after driving about 250km. Stopped the car for about 30 mins and then took it up the road. Took a right turning and then suddenly the engine cut off. The engine turns but doesn't start. No warning signs.

If you spray the intake will it start. You need to check the fuel pump pressure with a gauge.

Find the injecter fuses. Your gonna need a test light for circut testing and to check for injecter pulse. You should use brake or carb. Spray or gas then try to start it.

Seems it was a blown fuse in the fuse box under the steering wheel. Kept blowing though (short circuiting somewhere). Had to re-wire a few things (probably override the system). Ok now. Just seems to be turning about 7-8 times before starting. Maybe my battery.
Q2. My ac seems to be blocked at the front somewhere (under the dashboard). Can I remove this myself and check it? Is the cooling system situated there?
