Title: V PLATE OMEGA 2.0 PETROL TURRNING OVER WONT START?
Post by: STE143 on 29 December 2009, 23:23:44

Hi All  :)

I have a v plate omega 2.0 petrol AUTOMATIC just had headgasket done drove for around 100 miles came to some lights after travelling about 2 miles after fuelling up then just died. Turns over wont start up????

Now i no what your thinking and no i didnt put wong fuel in

The cylinders are getting fuel ;D
The plugs are sparking ;D
Compression test good only 10 psi difference on the cylinders max ;D
Timing spot on ;D
chip in the key is in there  ;D
I have tried some easy start but no joy  ;D

sounds like its on the verge of firing but just does not burst in to life

Also had a full service as well as crankshaft sensor maybe 2 mths ago also

your opinions and ideas are most welcome!!!!! :y

I do have one idea that might solve it but that involves £5 of petrol and a box of matches he he!!!!  ;D

Have you done the "paper clip" test ??

First thing to try.. :)

Post up the result .. :), but don't turn it over too much

My worry is that the timing has slipped following the headgasket change.

You sound very sure the valve timing is correct..was the belt re-fitted by someone who knows these engines?

you need to check your fault codes

A few times I have done HG changes on Migs (all sorts) and had  stalling probs afterwards - due to finishing off an already frail crank sensor wire...

Where are you  ;D

It begs the question, if the cam is broken - when the HG was done- were the shells fitted in the correct order, and in the correct rotation  :-X
