Non Starter........
« on: 26 September 2006, 21:37:31 »

Drove from Telford to Coventry this morning no problem. Jumped in tonight at 6.30 to come home, started first time. Drove 100m round the corner to drop the keys off to the house i was working on, came back out and thats as far as i got :-[ Turning over ok but its having none of it, trying to go,plenty of fuel in it, so where do i start. I put V power in it this morning which it doesn't usually have, I wonder?

Any clues chaps [smiley=cry.gif]

I remember Mark asking me that when i had the same problem, and it wasn't. Sure enough it was the crank sensor.

When i changed it i checked again, and sure enough when it starts cranking the light goes out, meaning it's ready to start.   ::)

Or check the Plenum bolt covers, sometimes they'll only run if one is missing.  ::)
