I humbly suggest that the admins remove Kev's digital privates and dub him 'Omega Eunuch', before he reaches god status ;) ;D ;D

No 'effin danger Jaime.....
That Tech2 of yours is shagged. You better get it checked. ::)
Either that or they've disconnected the battery before you got to it. >:(
-
In your defence Kev, Jamie was trying his hardest to break it ;)
-
Fault codes remain even after battery disconnection ;)
Also, some old fault codes were readable....
-
Im getting twinges just thinking about the outcome ;D

That's cos he agreed with me, so did MarksDTM.
Seriously though, glad it's up and running. ;)

Yep, me too mate, I cant believe one little break down has caused such a stir. These threads have had me in stiches, car fixed and a laugh along the way. Brillsville ;)

You just don't get the same level of laughter when you put it into the dealer. ;D

Yeah, its been a giggle ;D
Good job Kev is a good sport, esp knowing he's only firing on one from now on... ;)

Always up for a laugh is Big Kev. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

OK, Kev's sweated enough on this one, I can reveal some additional information which Kev didn't know about...
What they never made clear was that it was turning over too slowly for it to start, whether using battery, another battery, or jumpstarting. Thats how they found it was aux belt slipping on a/c pulley.
So, Kev, you weren't given the full info to be able to correctly diagnose....

Umm, I beg to differ! See first post.

:o ;D ;D

Ahh, but you'd implied it was cranking slowly due to 'low battery' ;)
-
That was before we tried my battery and then quickly started homing in on the cause. Nonetheless, I said that it was almost catching. I don't think it would do that with a bad crank sensor! :D

NO no no no no no, hold your horses a minute, hes not getting off with it that easy. Original thread clearly states the car was turning over and trying to fire, it was only the next day after towing car and turning over some more that the a/c pully seized completely. ;)

And that'll do for me. Thanks Jamie. ;D
Now as Columbo says, "Just one more thing...", Looking at the post i made after your duff description....
If the fuel pump isn't running while it's turning over then it's the crankshaft sensor. ;) I'd bet my left bollock on it. ::)
Also, It wouldn't cough no matter what you sprayed in there, cos if it doesn't know what angle the crank is at, it won't generate a spark either.
* EDIT * You'll also need a working EML to paperclip it. ;)
Why wasn't that fuel pump running? Does a seized compressor stop the fuel pump from running? Does a seized compressor inhibit spark generation? New one on me if that's the case. ::)
Was the pump maybe ok, and was running, but you gave false information? Yep, probably. ;)
I still reckon the V6 lump would still fire, even with a seized compressor, it'd just burn up an Aux belt. MarksDTM concurred with me on this point also.
So i can sleep easy, knowing that i made the correct diagnosis for the information that was presented before me, which was, at best, patchy. ::)

If it wasnt the crank sensor.......what was wrong??? sorry trying to catch up on this thread and may have missed the actual fault :-[

Seized a/c compressor, meaning it wouldn't turn over fast enough...
