Major Help Required

Hi All

 

New to this, so bear with me please.

 

I own a 1998 2.3 Galaxy which broke down while in London, engine just died, turns over but no start, RAC said it was the Camshaft sensor but too late to get one so got lifted home 120 miles.

 

Fitted new sensor still no start !!!!!***** any ideas? I have taken a plug out and tested for spark, NOTHING!!

 

The only other thing I have noticed is that the immobilser light on the door does not go off but flashes quickly when trying to start and it now beeps once when I turn off ignition. Also it does not make any noises when I turn the ignition on like it used to. (it does turn over)

 

I am talking the family on holiday on the 26th so desperate to get my motor back on the road other wise I am in serious trouble with the Mrs!!!

 

Would appreciate any suggestion please.

 

Thanks

Just a suggestion - You haven't lost the chip from the key have you? Try your spare just in case it's the immobiliser.

Good suggestion thanks, but I have tried all the keys, still nothing.

I dont belive it!

I've just got the same problem.

2001 (petrol) Galaxy just stopped at a set of lights and it died. I got a tow home and ive disconnected the fuel filter and tried turning the engine over and it seems that theres no fuel being pumped from the tank.

Could any one shed any light on this? i cant find the relay/fuse either!!

 

Any help appreciated thanks

Hi,

 

I had this problem with my Mk1 2.3 auto last summer, turned out to be relay 30, which controls immobilizer/fuel pump, the flashing led on the drivers door is a strong clue in this direction. There is a very good faq on this - I'll try and post a link

Thanks for the info, turned out to be relay 100!! But will probably order 30 as well and change that.

 

For future info there are two 100's in the fuse box, got the wrong one at first. It was the one that goes into the brown slot on the board, just in case any one has the same problem.

 

A mate managed to speak to a Ford mechanic who luckily had just repaired a car with the same problem!
