Driving - Cut out - Wont start?

[Daz_RT_04]

Pulled out of a junction by my house, gave it some beans before slowing right down for a speed bump...go over the speedbump, go to pull away and the engines died... :dapprove:

Ive checked the gay red button under the bonnet, relays and most visable connectors etc and have got no where.

Just been towed home

Any idea's?

Ph1 172 btw guys

Is it turning over? When was the timing belt last done?

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Yeah its turning over, im 99% sure its electrical/fuel.

 

[rob_clio197rs]

maybe crank sensor

Sounds like the timing belt to me mate.

My 1.2 did the same, was just driving along then I lost all power and it wouldn't restart

Don't try and start it, get it to a garage to inspect.

If you try and start it with a gubbed timing belt then it will only do more damage

dodgy earth on the gearbox??

i had that, renault stung me for £200 to replace a foot of cable, not happy bunny!

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Well hopefully going to get some form of diagnostic tool on it today

Its getting a spark, its getting fuel, the cut off switch is ok, the pumps priming...

Its turning over and over, cambelt is fine...


TDC sensor? Injector problem?

Bloody car lol!

 

[mark_sport172]

Could be a loose connection on one of your sensors. Check all them first? MAP, TDC, etc

 

[Daz_RT_04]

I've taken off the TDC sensor, gave it some love and refitted it.

Just been finking about earthing points, Imobilizer poss?

Is the red light on the dash flashing when cranking? If it's getting fuel and spark then it shouldn't be the immobiliser.

Its flashing pretty quickly, not really taken notice of it before, so Im not sure what that means?

 

[stu-172]

Sounds like the immobiliser is playing up. Have you tried starting the car with both keys? Is your car battery on it's way out?

This may help!

mine does this mate, its fine when you driving along but when you stop to go over speed bump or pull in to a drive it cuts out but it runs absolutly fine so im assuming a dodgy connection somewhere, mines getting checked on on thursday!

 

[mozzer_morrey]

mine used to do this last year, only happend when the engine was cold though or just after it had been started. It was a dodgy crank sensor. Had no problems since it was sorted 'touch wood'

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Well it isnt the keys/immob from my understanding, the light goe's off now etc... both keys seem fine.

My gut feeling is telling me crank sensor..

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Right, shes fixed.

My gut feeling proved to be right, didnt have a diag check as couldnt really be arsed to tow the car somewhere.

So went and bought a crank sensor, whilst taking the old one off, it fell in my hand in two pieces....

Yay!

New one fitted...done.

 

[stu-172]

Glad she's sorted and without too much expense!

 

[jonny_rs]

how much is a crank sensor and is it an easy job for an amateur?
