M52 cranking but not starting

Post Sat Feb 25, 2012 11:08 pm

Had the joy of cranking over the engine today, however it won't start.

I'm not getting a spark, and although I get fuel being fed when it primes, I don't get any more fuel when I start cranking it over.

EWS has been removed, so based on what I've read on the net it points to the crankshaft sensor. Would a cam sensor also stop it from firing? There's a scrapyard about 45 mins away open on Sunday's so I'm tempted to go over there and get whatever's needed.

Any thoughts appreciated!

Swapped in 2 sensors I got from the scrappy but no joy. Will have to wait for my mate to get back from holiday so I can borrow his diagnostic kit.

Yeh I've ordered one off ebay, didn't fancy the £45 Halfrauds one so have to wait a few days. Will post back once I receive it
