Title: 2.5 V6 won't start.
Post by: Big Rod on 29 January 2009, 14:56:08

Hi guys,

Long time no speak!

Wondered if you could help. SWMBO's 2.5 V6 won't start. it turns over but nothing happens.

Have checked cambelt and bridged the FPR as I couldn't hear the pump from the ignition alone and the plugs seem to be dry. Also, form what I can tell, I don't think there's a spark.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Rod.

Y'alreet chief!!  :y

Kind'a thought that myself Mark, in fact it was the first thing I thought on before being sent on wild goose chase.

Is there any documentation on here about how to read the codes and what they mean?

Thanks again!

It was fine the last time I logged on.

Granted that was some months ago.

I shall remove it.

Please accept my humblest apologies.  ;)

Just done it, 19 right enough!  ::)

Is it an awkward job to replace? Never done one.

nice and easy, ignore original route, come up from sensor, up near abs unit, back over to plenum.
