Wouldn't start or crank just click... 850

posted by  someone claiming to be On the ball!! on  Sun Jul 27 09:00 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Dear All

Had a great run out today with my wife and daughter. Then after stopping for 10 mins for a coffee the car wouldn't start.

All the warning lights lit up and as a turned the key to start all I could hear click. Tried again and click but noticed the rev counter flic!! So I popped the hood to check the battery connections which were good and there was plenty of juice in the battery. Got back in and tried again - it started!!!

Any ideas? My car is an 850 2.0 20v. Without turbo! Could this be the fuel pump relay?

I had a problem with it idling high (1000 rpm) but again during the run it returned to normal (850 rpm). Is this related?

Thanks
