gavmck Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 hi i am after a bit of advice and was hoping to find some here.. the other night my gal cut out while i was doing about 20mph(just set off from trafic lights) no sound or knocks from engine almost like someone turned the key off.. now it wont start at all ive checked and it seems to turn over and ive got fuel and spark getting to each cylinder. after reading up on here i think ive narrowed it down to either timing chain or crankshaft position sensor so ive 2 questions. 1. if the crank position sensor is faulty is it still possible to get a spark at the plugs. 2. is there any quick and easy way to check if its the timing chain( i was going to remove the rocker cover but it seems like a big job just to do a quick check. thanks in advance Quote

gavmck Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) put a new battery on it only a month ago and it cant be the relay 30 because the v6 doesnt have a relay 30(or 27) its nothing to do with imobliser because it had a new imobliser fit last year and the symtoms are completely different. do you know if the crank position sensor is faulty is it still possible to get a spark at the plugs Edited January 21, 2011 by gavmck Quote

gavmck Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 just take fuse board out and there is no rely 167 or 109 do you have any idea were i can find out what they are on the v6 Quote
