Title: Odd one
Post by: a2reed on 24 November 2007, 15:02:55

Had a strange one the other day....car has been working fine went back to it after shopping and it just cranked and cranked but would not start at all......The next day it started normally.

 ....me thinking crank sensor but I changed that 1 year ago .....


It did have plenty of fuel


Any ideas?

did the engine light come on? might be worth flashing any fault codes to see if it is the crank sensor.

That is very like a crank sensor failure. If it happens again I'd say change the crank sensor.

only for paperclip test, see out Maintenence Guides, as topbuzz is misleading.

I had this for a while last year, eventually found to be a loose chip in the keyfob, so the immobilisor was not getting deactivated with the key in the ignition.... but did sometimes as the chip was actualy moving in the key.

Fixed with a dab of superglue once the nice AA man pointed out the problem .. :)
