Title: 2.0 D.T.I won't start??
Post by: umar on 25 May 2009, 22:33:23

I've had my Vauxhall omega for about 2 months now. Drove it home from where I purchased it....no problem. As I reversed onto the drive, the car just cut out and hasn't started since. I have checked all the fuses, wires (for bad earth)..even changed the crankshaft sensor. I have also checked the fuel from fuel lines whilst cranking over...still will not start. Any ideas would be much appreciated??

Thanks

Did it stop while running or did it not start after you stopped it and left it?

Try loosening one of the inlets to the injectors and crank her to see if you get diesel up there? you should remove all glow plugs to avoid the load on your starter.
And how is your driveway? my omega 2.0dti runned out of fuel if the fuel level was down around 15 liters and i had it running on a / surface (found this out wintertime when i let her idle in the morning :()
