Non starting V6 petrol
« on: 06 April 2008, 12:04:05 »
Hi,
My 2.6V6 spins over but will not fire.Could it be the crankshaft sensor if so how easy is to replace.Oddly enough when disconnecting the battery the alarm goes off!

Many thanks

To stop the alarm, disconnect the battery within ten seconds or so after turning off the ignition.

What does engine management light do when you switch on ignition?

Engine management light is on when ignition switched on and stays on whilst cranking.

Is the light steady or flashing while cranking ???

If flashing it is an immobilisor problem, and thats why it won't start.

If steady it is a fault code ... as it can't be "paperclipped" it needs a code reader ..

If you put your car details and location in your profile it will save everyone asking you !! and those nearby may be able to help  :)
