General Engine just stopped ... no warning.

Hi
Thanks blu73 & varesecrazy ... for your help and time with this fault, bet if I had it towed to a garage who knows how big the bill would be ;-)

I will recheck in a couple of hundred miles as suggested to check the belt tension, I guess that I had done only about 150 miles since the HG was done as I dont go far.

One last question I noticed that the timing belt seems to stay about 2 to 3 mm from the left hand cam pulley edge as the original one seemed to be more central on the pulley is there any way to correct this position or best left alone ?

Thanks again for your help, regards Peter.
 
Hi
I have a 1998 1.2 8v Punto that the engine has just cut out and can not restart.

It started fine pulled away normal got about 30 foot then it was like the ignition had been turned off this was instant no misfire or juddering just cut dead, all the electrics i.e. lights, wipers etc seem to work o.k..

The engine turns over fast, petrol is being pumped to the injector as can see moisture after turning engine over, tested the high amp fuses under bonnet all good, changed crank shaft sensor about 4 years back so hope that is good, wiring to it looks o.k.

Not tested if spark at plugs as need to get a plug socket to remove plug ... not sure what size socket to get ... please any info on socket size, thanks.

There is no attempt to fire on any cylinder at all ... does this happen if the coil packs have a problem ? is there a common failure to look for that affects all coil packs.

Any advice please, thanks.

Check your ground wires. Once i had this kind of problem. The ground wire fro. The alternator was cut open by the heatshield. Or it might be something different just a suggestion.
