Ok thanks I think I'm just going to order cam and crankshaft sensors my friend seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet with the code reader anyway ....
Interested in what you find. Ours has just developed a similar problem. It cranks but won't fire. I can smell petrol at the exhaust so suspect there's no sparks. It was fine in the evening but wouldn't start the next morning. All suggestions welcome :sick: .
I'm still none the wiser on mine I've replaced the cam and crankshaft sensors Still the same symptom ..cranks doesnt start no fuel at the rail and no spark .
Start with basic checks , power to the coils and fuel pump ? Can you hear any clicking from the injectors. Could be an Ecu failure but would think that's pretty rare. Sounds like a power supply issue. Someone had a similar issue on here and he traced it to.a badly corroded wire from the fuse relay box area. Had to untape the harness slightly to find it as water he got in
well, embarrassingly it seems ours was just flooded.:blush: Didn't realise that was even possible with "modern" injected engines. :blink:
But this raises another question. I have always felt it runs way rich on cold starts & idles at near 3000 until warm when all returns to normal. The garage also reckon it is over fuelling when cold which could partly explain the flooding. Is this usual & does anyone know if it can it be adjusted?
