I drove my car home from work last (2000 2.5 elite 80k auto ) as usual she drove perfect no problems nothing suspicious happened.
But this morning i went to go to work and got in car and turned her over and she just spins and doesnt fire at all.
 i have checked the obvious i.e: fuel and the batterey has plenty of punch but it just wont fire
p.s i also checked that the chip thingy is still in the key fob so im lost any help please ?? i need to get it running asap for work.
A friend has suggested it might be the crank sensor and has offered to come over in the mornin and remove his sensor  and fit it to mine to see if thats the problem anymore help guys from your knowledgable heads please. :-/

Do the paperclip trick and post up any codes .. if you get a 19 it is almost certainly the crank sensor.

It lives next to the oil filter, is around £50 & you need to buy OE. Pattern don't last.

I've just had to remove mine to give it a good clean, (wrong oil filter fitted, which then exploded sending oil everywhere).

It's really easy to get to and to undo the E8 bolt, (I think an 8mm or 6mm should also fit?), but do be carefull getting it out. If it feels stuck, which it likely will do, gently give it a prise with a flat bladed screwdriver and try gently giving it a little wiggle. Eventually after a good 5-10 minutes it will come out.

I cant stress enough that you need to be gentle with it.


I cant comment on the wiring side of it, as all I did with mine was remove it to clean all the oil off it.

ok i did the paper clip test this morning and all im getting ids the 12 =start then 135=low voltage and the 31=no rpm.
The batterey was fine before and is probly a lil low now  as i have tried to turn it over several times i already knew that lol so im still lost??

[rob69]

where would an oofer go next or what would he check lol ??

[rob69]

ok guys been out there again pulled a few plug leads off and im not gettin any spark from any of the leads so does that mean its the coil pack ??

Code 31, no RPM so either
- the engine isn't turning
or
- the crank sensor is FUBAR and can't sense the engine is turning

No crank sensor = no spark

When my crank sensor failed (on a 1994 2.5 V6) I didn't get a code 19.

thanks mate but dunno if that complicates it or makes it easier lol is there a way of findin out what it is before i start taking stuff apart??
