Cheers, had thought about that, but as it's showing the cam code and it seems to register the key with the immobiliser I ruled that out. It is showing fuel pressure in the rail when I crank it but as mark said, it needs the cam sensor working to start a diesel.
Today checked the wiring out and it all seems fine, continuity through to the ecu from the can sensor, am starting to think the timing is out as a Google search has suggested it is common on these engines.
Thanks for advice though, any help is appreciated
so car crank but not start?
if so did you ever replace egr valve?
try to un plug maf sensor and see if start
thanks
Yes, it cranks but won't start, ecu keeps logging p0340 cam sensor low input.
Haven't tried removing the egr, didn't know that could stop it starting. Have had the maf unplugged and it still doesn't start. The fuel pressure builds up quickly to the desired pressure and I have check most of the other sensors I can think of, but as Mark suggested, if it is getting a cam code a common rail diesel won't start.
Trouble is trying to work out why it's getting the code.
I have checked the cam sensor with a scope both direct on the sensor and at the ecu and there is a signal when I crank the engine but it still logs a code, so I am left with either the ecu or timing being out.
Just need to fix the seal on my jack so I can get the timing cover off.
Cheers for all the ideas
