Guest Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Recently changed oil pump on ej20 engine, timed her up and now won't start, she turns over but just won't fire, but fed up as I don't really know what I'm doing and can only get help when people have spare time... Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Did you disconnect any of the wiring ? There's a crank sensor on top of the block underneath the alternator if that's unplugged it won't fire Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 No wires were touch and if they were they were replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Definitely check the crank and cam sensors are plugged back in , cos (as stants said ) it won't fire and will just turn over if they're not connected. Crank sensor is in the top of the oil pump ,above the crank pulley under the alternator. Cam sensor is on the passenger side top just behind the back of the timing belt cover . If theyre both ok remove the timing belt covers and check the timing marks .As To fit the oil pump you'd have to remove the timing belt . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Battery is brand new, but I get a meter thing tomorrow 👍 cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayzarh Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Battery is brand new, but I get a meter thing tomorrow 👍 cheers Haha I had a brand new Battery because I thought my other one was shot, it was just the alternator :D When you turn the key, before trying to crank it, do ALL the lights on the dash light up? Can you hear a little thirsty fuel pump sucking your fuel like "slurrreeph"😂 What helped my car start was some fuel? I know it sounds really stupid but are you sure you have enough fuel?

Guest Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Ah, all lights come on on dash, fuel was low went and got five litres the fuel pump does hum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayzarh Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 If you have a jump, try and jump the Battery as it's possible that the Battery has been drained (starter is a thirsty one) Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buggyeye Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I had a issue with my immobiliser transponder in the key last year. Probably a long shot but can't hurt. Mind you my key was knackerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
