-
crank sensor from Vaux gateway code 59
Genuine VX sensor, and new not secondhand?
Fault code relates to front multi-ram
-
Decent amount of fuel in the tank?
-
Decent amount of fuel in the tank?
Could be, Estates are not very forgiving if parked on the slightest of slops and are a bit low on fuel. Where you trying to start it with the front still jacked.
-
3 questions and no answers even though OP is online. What`s the point :-\ :-\
-
20 itr of fuel on flat surface, which is the front multi ram
-
Ignore the multiram, wont stop it starting.
Did it run before?
Old school diagnostics of checking for a spark and fuel at the rail.(not at the same time thou)
-
it has been playing up for a few weeks got a new crank sensor went for a week, parked up went out 2 hours later no start

I am going to be rude, because it gets frustrating when people don't oppsing listen >:(
BUY A GENUINE NEW VAUXHALL SENSOR FROM A GENUINE VAUXHALL DEALER THAT YOU GENUINELY HAVE TO GO TO. BUYING USED/PATTERN SENSORS FROM ANYWHERE ELSE IS A WASTE OF YOUR MONEY AND EVERYBODY ELSES TIME.

In a sealed packet featuring the GM holographic logo and GM part number?
-
I will get one from Vauxhall on Monday and then we will see if that's the prob
-
I paid £66 for mine a few months ago.It came laid out full length in a long slim cardboard box,not coiled up in a plastic bag.However it did come over the counter at the local Vauxhall dealers.

Indeed :y they do tend to be boxed rather than bagged...

Depends. I have bought both bagged and boxed.
-
Must admit I was a little surprised when I saw box,don't know why but I'd got it in my head it'd be in a bag,still every day's a schoolday :y
-
fitted a real crank sensor from Vauxhall, and still will not fire up, what else can it be , Aiden
-
Old school diagnostics of checking for a spark and fuel at the rail.(not at the same time thou)
There's a clue!!! :D
My DIS pack plug had become disconnected once - that won't throw up any codes.
-
still code 59 all plugs connected
-
Oh dear. At this point I would check for fuel at rail when cranking starter, and spark at plugs, as advised earlier, and report back
-
If you're still stuck when I'm home from hols (tomorrow night onwards) I am not a million miles away and can take a look if it helps :y
-
I will check fuel and plugs.
, then let you know if I need help, many thanks
-
what is the way to check spark plugs :)
-
Not all the plugs will have failed, a plug issue would give you a miss-fire not a non starter. Also if a coil pack failed, it would only run on one bank.
Lack of fuel could be a problem, as not much else would stop it starting.
Other area to look at is the key, has it come apart recently? Is the immobiliser chip all present and correct? Is it locking and unlocking ok?
-
Right. if you have a spare key, try it. One my son compalined his car would not start, it turned out he had dropped the key, the chip had fallen out, so it would not start. The spare key started it fine.
Or it could be fuel pump or fuel pump relay or even a fuse. Take off the fuel feed to fuel rail pipe, point it into a container, amd have the wife crank the engine. If no fuel, you have found your fault.

Use a known good plug, pull out the easiest ht lead, push in the plug and earth the threaded part on the plug.

It's a 2.6 - No HT leads :)
Edit. Sorry yes it's a 2.5. Getting confused with other thread
-
key is ok locks and unlocks, I think it is fuel related, where would the relay be

No disrespect mate but you're missing the point. The key would still lock and unlock if the transponder was missing or faulty.
Please, please listen to our suggestions, advice and offers. Collectively us long standing forum members know these cars VERY well!!!!! :y
1) Have you a spare key?
2) try and start the car with it and post the result....
:y
-
tried the spare key still no joy
-
key is ok locks and unlocks, I think it is fuel related, where would the relay be
fuse box inside engine compartment (not cabin one) next to battery, relay is one nearest n/s wing

Both purple relays are relevant...
One powers fuel pump, tother powers injectors.

This is a 2.5 so will have a single DIS not one per bank. :)
-
Should still fire at least one cylinder and to be that bad it run like an utter dog for an age before completely dying on its arse...
2.6/3.2 is driveable with one coil pack unplugged...
Just don't try to overtake anything :-X
-
hi, good spark at plugs, have power to fuel pump, took pipes off turned engine over fuel not pumping out

In which case there's either not enough fuel in the tank, or the pump is sticking or the injector relay has failed...
-
ordered a pump and go from there

Doh.

well changed fuel pump, car started after a while ran for 4 mins the stopped waited 10 mins started again went about 3 miles stopped again, will it be a relay ?

Change both purple relays, unless one has a brown tinge to it, in which case just change that one.
