Hi guys
           Can anyone help, my mig will not start, turns over but a strong smell of petrol so i think the crank sencer fine, it gives alot of popping though the exhurt (pardon my spelling) like timing out, drove fine the day before, possible cambelt may have jumped, checked by taking apart the front and checking with cam gauge fine, no fault codes listing  
  Now its starting to snow again  Great!!

What Omega is it you have?

Hi mate
            Sorry 2.5 v6 1998 estate and it is in a state at the moment

crank sensor, imho.

[albitz]

Agreed. Have you done the paperclip test ?

Hi guys
           Yes, done fault code, none listed, would the crank sencer still let petrol though

I'd go with crank sensor.

Quite possible. If the ecu cant tell where the crank is, the spark timing will be out and it wont fire. It would be nice to have fault code confirmation but  no code is not unusuall. Have you had any other instances where the car has cranked but not started? This is usually a sign, but not always...

presume you are at least getting code 12 to rell you that diag. sequence is starting ? If not  could the eml bulb be blown/missing ?
If you are getting code 12 but no others then I doubt its a crank sensor problem. :-/
Crank sensor should give a code 19 with engine running,not sure when not running.

Hi guys
           Thanks for all your help, yes eml light does work, code 12 for the start but nothing else, been starting ok beforehand but thinking, when you floor the pedal it thinks about it for a second then it nails you, like a turbo kicking in, once i get the front put back after taking it apart for the cambelt check i'll give it ago.
               Thanks
