Hi Kevin, I fitted a new crank sensor last night to rule that out.

If I'm honest I didn't know the fuel pump had it's own relay, which and where is this relay??

Hi Mark, there's no fuel coming out of the relief valve at the back of the injector manifold, that's why I'm thinking fuel pump

Well I've put the extra gallon of fuel in and the gauge went up even further but still not engine spark.

Immobiliser light is not flashing when cranking engine so think I can rule that out as well. Back to thinking the fuel pump is goosed. Lunch has finished now and school concert tonight so she's gonna have to sit there another night.

Oh and on another note the car was parked on a slope but we dragged her into the workshops which is completely flat so don't think this should matter.

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Wanted - 2.6 2001 estate fuel pump

« on: 08 December 2016, 11:32:20 »

I'm not 100% sure I do need this as not proven this is the problem but does anyone have a working fuel pump for a 2.6 auto estate, 2001??

Tried to do this but my key won't lock the car while the key is in the ignition. Looks like it's signal strength as when I remove the key and hold it up it will then lock it.

Also just to rule it out I've sent our driver for a gallon of fuel just to make sure the gauge hasn't  gone daft and I have run out of fuel. If I have then it's either leaking out or someone is stealing it !

Ok I've just removed the dust cap from the pressure release valve on injectors and this usually squirts you with fuel when it's pressed and there's nothing at all. Will any of the above restrict fuel flow and would your fuel pump bring up a fault code??

Ok folks need a little help as I'm lost and losing the will to live with the old girl.

I posted the other week where I had a fault and the car wouldn't start, only for it to start after a few hours stood and a gallon of fuel (even though it wasn't empty).

Some suggested crank sensor and I tempted fate as she ran fine for a week then wouldn't start on leaving work last night. I bought a new sensor and have just fitted it however still nothing. She turns over but doesn't fire at all.  I've checked for codes and have the following:

1613 immobiliser
0150 02 sensor
0560 system voltage
0135 sensor heater circuit

Anyone help would be appreciated as can't live without a car and can't afford a garage

Yes we did try, the car was level and we lifted it from the back passenger side and no difference.

I've never had any issues reference stsrting due to fuel levels, I normally don't run it until warning light comes on so I don't have to worry and like I said it was on 1/4 tank. I'm thinking the crank sensor had been damaged due to all the rain we had and it running down over it when it leaked past the scuttle

Ok, I walked and fetched a gallon of petrol, put it in and sat and waited for my recovery. The battery was completely flat by this stage, when it arrived we put the jump leads on let it put some charge in the battery and hey presto she started straight up. Fuel gauge has gone up so I don't know if the fuel gauge has gone faulty and it was short of fuel or if it's the crank sensor as suggested but we are home and I'm starting to defrost with a drop or two of JD.

Is the crank sensor the one that's down the back corner of the engine near the oil filter?

Didn't hunk the crank sensor would allow the car to start and then shudder to a stop though, thought that was instant stop and EML on??

The EML is not flashing. I've flattened the battery now trying different things so waiting for the car in front to move so we can tow it.

I'm still thinking fuel pump though as I can't hear it make a noise when the ignition is turned on

Will the immobiliser stop the car turning over all together or does it just cut the fuel?
