hi
everyone car wont start
when doing fault code test with the black connectors under dash do i plug in green ones aswell cos when i do this my fans come on and it starts ticking
thanks dan
ps when i just plug in black ones no faults found

 

just black ones.. do you get the okay code (one flash a second).

Simon

 

Yeah, one flash a second.

Any ideas?

I am baffled, fuel pump buzzes so fuels getting to the engine.

Cheers

Dan

 

if the car won't start but the fuel pump is deff priming then most likely crank or cam sensor.. if you remove a ht lead or coilpack if coil on plug and put a spark plug in it and ground it on the chassis.. spin the car over and see if you get a spark.. if you don't then it is further up the chain.. ie. crank or cam sensor or immobiliser.. if the pump is priming then the ecu has power, the immobiliser is not cutting the power the pump so is probably working, but depends which circuits have been immobilised.

I am assuming it turns over but won't start? if it starts then stalls then you have another set of things to check, but if not even trying then it is something cutting the spark and fuel imho.. ie. crank or cam signals.


Simon

 

Also have you changed anything on the car?

this isn't after just changing the cambelt for example?

 

no fit short close deck block and had my heads all checked will go check for spark now
cheers dan

 

checked for spark and have spark on all four, would it bring up a code for cam or crank sensor? also had battery on jump leads for my van so plenty power there
thanks dan
i have changed the crank sensor i had a spare but not sure whether it works might be able to get a cam sensor saturday from my mates. if it does nt work whats the next step thanks need to get this car sorted well fed up with it.

 

my money would be on cambelt wrong

have you lined the arrow on the crank sprocket per chance?

Simon

 

yes on crank the lining mark straight up from it i am going to strip rad put and check all marks
cheers dan

 

I meant the arrow is incorrect.. needs lining to the line as it picture.

Simon

 

timing is all correct only thing is the white lines on timing belt are not lined up with mark on sprockets would this matter as timing is still correct? i dont know would it still start

 

the belt rotates around as the engine runs.. ie. the belt only lines up as you fit it and once the engine is rotated the lines won't

 

ok thanks for help you said about arrow lining up in pic if the top mark on crank pulley is lined up with the mark on block the arrow would be right place?

cant do much with it at the moment cos weather cant see it been imolbiliser cos its an alarm imobiliser in one ie i have to press button on my alarm fob to light up ignition before final crank lights up dash fuel pump primes fuel gets to the engine checked on fuel line and there is a spark but no error codes its a mystery sorry for long post but any help would be appreciated
thanks dan

 

if you look at http://www.jollygreenmonster.com/fil...belt_crank.jpg
the mark on the lug sticking out of the top of the crank sprocket lines up.. not the arrow on the front..

other problems could be the sprockets on the wrong cams, or even the cams in wrong.. ie. it all relies on you putting them in the right place.. there is nothing to stop you putting them wrong.. left and right bank for example is as sat in the drivers seat not looking in the engine bay.

Simon

 

no mate they are all correct made sure of that did them one at a time inlet exhaust cams etc right and left are correct to.
cheers dan

 

damn..

 

hello just checked timing again both exhaust cams are one notch out think i may have found problem or would it start but run lumpy? must be blind
thanks dan

 

would expect that to still run.. but obviously needs correcting.
