Urgent help needed! Won't start
« on: 24 October 2010, 10:32:33 »
Hi all, really need your help chaps, car not missed a beat and went to start it last night and it won't start. All I hear is the starter, engine is not attempting to start at all. A friend said it was starter motor clutch but the looked and found that the aux belt is turning so probably not the starter.

Need help and possibly someone to fix it.

Thank in advance.

If your engine is spinning, then the starter is doing what it's supposed to do - turn the engine  :y
What about the pedal trick & see if there any codes .... 19 sounds as though it could be a likely candidate.  :-/  :-/

Agree with mr B, pedal trick for fault codes, obd 2 code for crank sensor on your car is 0335 iirc, 19 is for the non drive by wire cars...

Just had another thought .... I know I know!  ::)
How was it used the last time it started? When cars are started to just move a couple of feet, to allow another car of ther drive etc, and then switched off, you can easily end up with a flooded engine.
Try starting with wide open throttle.  :-/

Well the code comes up 10 1 10 10. Which I assume is 0100. Which isn't really helpful

Just been through this myself with another car, would not start...trouble with that one was it gave a hat full of codes from maf to 02 sensor and several others but no crank sensor code. Cleared the codes, tried to start and failed, pedal trick again and got 0335 alone so conclusive eventually  :-/

No, but needs eliminating IMO.... :-/

If it's no different still suspect crank sensor.....

Taking maf off didn't change anything.

Not maf then.
Crank sensor will often throw other codes, the ecu is fuddled as it does not have it's base reading from crank sensor IMO.

Ideally clear the codes and try again, needs a reader though...
