Jhandy Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Have you checked the timing? A little thing as a coolant sensor can stop it starting bud Check the rotor arm see if it corroded Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlet Craze Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 The coolent temperature sensor is faulty I think is it 2 pin or 1 pin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jhandy Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 2 pin the 1 pin controls the fan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jhandy Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If you keep cranking it. It should start eventually. It done it to me once. Took about 15-20secs worth of cranking. Then once it was warm was fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I've just had this. Spark, fuel and oxygen. The car should go mate. That's all that is required. In theory anyway. As Ben says, if the timing is out then you are going to get an issue with oxygen, escaping gases and compression. A compression check will give you an indication. If you're really not mechanically minded, then consider getting a garage to have a look at it. In due time you can learn. But start with small projects and learn the basics and the move on up. We've all got to start somewhere and I found that just building a simple two stroke engine will cover the basics that will put you in good steed to working on something more sophisticated.

Ollieh17 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Charlie on here had a similar issue the other day, was a faulty coolant temp sensor stopping it from starting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

starlet Craze Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Right do its runs now but smokes a lot it's white and black smoke and the spark plugs have gone very black just put new ones in and only done 0.5 miles just been starting it!What could it be!Ovrrfueling?I'm from east London mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 White smoke is probably condensation if its not been run in a while. Black is fuel, could be a few things cause that. have you checked for any engine codes By bridging te1 and e1 in the diag port? (Someone correct me if i got the wrong pins) sometimes they have codes but dont throw the c.e.l onIt will cause the engine light to flash in a sequence, if its a constant flash its clear but if its spaced out its throwing a code Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlet Craze Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Right I'll get it checked but this is the second set of spark plugs I've needed to put it other wise car font start because they are so filthy what's causing this its got a fuel pressure regulator on it as by the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
