Hi,
With ref to A previous post
Simply questioning that the car wouldn't start when hot and getting no fault code. A lot of you experts have said the crankshaft sensor, which doesn't sound too painful.
An update and advice please before sending off to garage.
My Omega T 99 V6 (AUTO) will not start their is plenty of battery life but the engine does not start now either hot or cold.
To add to the problem which I'm not sure how serious i need to worry is that the gears do not engage when pushed into my drive. Whether car is in Park, it still can be pushed as if in neutral, and the same with drive, reverse etc that the wheels move freely. (Still no engine fault code given)
Any advice please would be very gratefully received, as sounds like i need a mortgage to get this one fixed.

Sounds like you need to see if there are any codes recorded. Might give you a starting point.

Hi
Its an automatic, you should be able to push it in any gear (except park!) That's worrying that park doesn't work, probably the selector lever wants adjustment so that park is properly engaged.

Does it turn over?

Hmm thinking that way too.
If it doesn't even turn over it sounds like the selector is shot and you are still in a Drive gear even though it shows Park

Hence whilst in drive it wont allow the starter to be activated.

hi,
Have done the paperclip test and no errror codes. Just code (12) start and end of test.
Yes the car turns over when in Park or Neutral. Though does not start or even a splutter. To add, in Reverse, Drive, 1, 2, 3 there is no ignition as expected.
So i am pretty stumped???
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Check for spark at plug and fuel through injectors, if neither, crank sensor

TY Rob,
I have been advised Crank sensor previously. Would that also be the cause of car moving freely in a gear, that the crankshaft is not engaged into the gears?
If so thankyou for the much needed advice, i won't have to take a mortgage out to fix my Omega lol.
Regards,
Marc.
Also a huge thanks to all the Omega Techies out there for so much help and info!

Auto will move whilst in gear as transmission is still free to turn wheels it`s only locked when "P" selected
