Just got it the car to head off to work and found that it was hard to start was turning over ok just not fireing up. Feeling as for a sec as if it was not fireing on all 6 cly. Has lots of fuel had a new crank sensor fitted a few months ago.

Would anyone have Tec 2 near Leicester or have anywhere to start looking. I have checked oil and water all ok at a lost.Help

Thanks
Steve.

Does sound like crank sensor.
Didn't you replace the fuel pump / plate recently? Is it still ok?

Hi there was a hole in one of the rubber pipes goining into the fuel pump which i cut down. just off to the garage to get them to check the routining of the crank sensor.  Still have to old one in the boot.  

only had the old crack sensor replaced a few months ago.

You might find when the daft buggers changed it they just chucked the cable down the back of the engine..........was it a genuine part or a naff pattern item?

It was a gen one. Just had a look at the fuel pump and checked the rubber pipes going into it and looks like one has a small hole in it againg. Have cut it back and refitted hopeful the will have been the prob as i guess it would let in air to the system.

will keep an eye on things
thanks for your help all
also will get the crank sensor checked out   .

Might be worth renewing the pipes to the next join (they have 'quick' fit clips on underneath the car / to the fuel filter).

Perhaps the old pipe has perished or is weakend because it is under strain?
