Thanx bud

Thing is craning ok, but still not starting

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[eko]

Is fuel getting through?

Good spark?

[georob]

yip to both

she catches just, but not enough

[eko]

crank sensor dirty/knackered?

Think this is one for Brianmoore

[georob]

where could i find that about in the enigne bay?

before it died, in 3rd she was spluttery as hell about 3-4k then cleared, about 2miles later it lost all power then cut out, belts are all ok, fuel pump ok, reaching the engine, getting a spark ok

one thing i noticed that wasnt there last night, the engine oil light is on, on the check panel, never done that before, theres oil in it, no leaks

the other poss thing is the fuel neck pipe needs replaced, wouldnt affect anything though would it?

Geprge im am no expert so can only guess!
Brian is definately the man you need to speak to.

Crank position sensor should i think be at the front of the engine pointing to the bottom pulley,it picks up signals and sends them to the ECU,might be worth wipping it out and giving it a clean,at least you can say you have done it if Brian asks/suggests that.

I was going to say maybe ECU fault but again only a guess?

Check the engine earth strap and give it a clean.
