SF5Fozzi Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Are your camshaft & crank sensors getting a signal when you turn it over? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Does the Battery and eml come on when you turn the key ? If not try ignition fuse in the cabin Check the crank and cam sensors wires and plugs . Do you know if you have spark ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF5Fozzi Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 @savage bulldogs , If the ignition fuse was blown then the fuel pump would not prime👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Not sure if it just cuts spark on the later models or whether fuel prime and supply are also both on the same circuit. My electrical knowledge is limited to v1 to v4 but thought it was worth a shout if he had no Battery and eml . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Do you have any error codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF5Fozzi Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Long shot...., but try this out. Make sure you got voltage in the Battery. Then disconnect the wires at the alternator. Try starting it. If it starts then the alternator's bad. Sometimes the alternator can appear to be operating properly but it can send a disruptive signal to the camshaft sensors that can cause a no start issue. Worth a try🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3lux Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Usual diagnostic flow would be.... 1. Is it turning over ok? Too slow=battery, dodgy starter, dodgy earth, something siezed. Too fast=no compression, snapped timing belt. Flashy lights=immobiliser? 2. Is it getting a spark? You need sparks and fuel. If you check for fuel 1st and you are getting fuel you need to clean it up. If you drop the spark plug you dont spill electricity everywhere! Fuel pump noise isnt good enough because you dont know if its pumping it out, you dont know if the ecu is opening the injectors. Now you have established the basics you can check for fault codes, check alternator output, check fuses, check timing, check for gypsy curses/demons etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
