hp006 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 As previous thread has said my car wont start. I have tried searching but after advice it appears i have no spark. The car has not been started for about 8 months. What could cause no spark and what needs to be replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hp006 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 i hve been researching cud it be the crankshaft position sensor thats the error/no spark? Wud it fail without being used for the last few months? How much is a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Have you looked for fault codes, they could indicate a bad connection or a faulty sensor? I would be cleaning and checking all of the electrical connections and looking for corrosion on various sensors. ps. Can't you spell or are those words shortened as some people do in text messages?

Scooter Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 does it have the factory alarm/immobilisor still? is this definitely working ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp006 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 There is no factory alarm as i know. I have an aftermarket one thats working fine. I have checked all wiring all fuses the fuel pump. theres no spark on any spark plug. I had them all out and gave them a good clean. I have checked fault codes and the light just remains on? Nt sure its meant to, sure its meant to flash something? Where is the crankshaft sensor? I have a map ecu fitted could this of lost some of its programming if the battery has not been connect for some time? My spelling is fine, as you say i was shortening it.

Chris Wilson Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Did you jump start it? If so did you put the leads on the wrong way round? That will nearly always kill the ignition igniter pack. Are the injectors firing? If so the crank trigger is working. Do the coils have power to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp006 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Not jump started brand new battery. How can I check if there firing and if there is power to the coil? Where's the coil located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 It doesn't have a single coil, there's one for each sparkplug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
