« on: 30 September 2012, 14:13:37 »
Drove my car earlier and it went fine. Jumped in ther and it refuses to start? Engine turns but just won't start? Any common things to check? Its a 2.2cd auto.

Crank sensor on 2.2 is bullet proof, cam sensors fail, but they will start even with it disconnected.

You need to get codes read, do you have a reader?

Has the key stayed intact? Check the little chip is still inside  :y

Use to have the same problem a while back, found that by re-locking and re-opening the car via the fob fixed it ??

Engine turns but just won't start?
Is it turning over faster than usual? Check timing belt integrity...
Can you hear the fuel pump priming when the ignition is first turned on?

If the immobilizer chip has been lost from the key then the e.m.l. should flash as your trying to start the car.

If you keep the starter spinning for about 5 or 6s (no longer than this!!), does it start?

Still won't start. There's a light flashing with a car and spanner on dash.

Ah, immobiliser.

Had the key apart recently? If so, look around where you had it apart, looking for a small bit of black cermaic/plastic...

Sounds like exactly like what i had on my 2.2, i went through changing sensors etc, in the end it was the ECU. (the code reader was telling me it was the ECU as well !)
