Don't we already the timing is okay as it runsI have rechecked that the timing belt is set up correctly. I took the camshaft cover off so that I could see the valves and it's definitely set up correctly. With everything back together the engine won't start.
Disconnect the pipe and it runs for short while. Reconnect it and it won't fire. I'm baffled.
Isn't that just disconnecting the pipe at the other endBut if I disconnect the plug for the fuel pump and level gauge at the fuel tank then the engine runs briefly!
Unplug the wires going to fuel guage sender, yep its going to report the cuicuit isn't wotkingThe error message recorded is Fuel level indicator circuit A, as expected.
There isn't any thing on the pertrolThere is no mention in the manual of anything that check the fuel pressure and I cannot see anything that appears to do that on the car.
I have no idea at the momentAny suggestions?
Post #42 = MAP sensorWe can't help without proper feedback
We have no response to post 42
We keep jumping all over the place
varesecrazy sorry if I seem to have ignored your post. I really do appreciate all the suggestions members have put forward. It's just become overwhelming. I haven't had a working car since christmas day!
The compression test results reddot:
No 1 100 psi
No 2 118 psi
No 3 115 psi
No 4 75 psi
Does anyone know what the pressure should be?
sounds very much like the crank sensor may have died as map sensor produces erratic symptoms but it would occasionally fire....
Next check the key is working, immobiliser may not be connecting with the key. I'd also check if you are getting a spark by pulling a plug lead off and sticking a plug on it, touch it to metal on the engine and get someone to turn the key and you see if the plug has a spark.
You are probably right but you'd expect the compression readings to be fairly equal to each other.With a basic poor starter, but fair runner maybe,
But with such poor compression figures I am still doubting the Top vs Bottom timing
A jumped belt is Far from unheard of with the 1108 in a 169 panda
Going back to what someone else said, is the timing correct on the car ie pulleys lign up with the marks on the engine? You have spark in the plugs and you can hear the fuel pump priming for a few seconds when you turn the key..... 105 psi with the throttle pressed to the floor would be very low in my view if the engine spins over as normal on the key.I have rechecked the compression.
No 1 90 psi
No 2 105 psi
No 3 95 psi
No 4 100 psi
I was also told that the lack of an error code doesn't mean the crankshaft sensor is OK and I should check its resistance. It should be between 1134 ohms and 1385 ohms. I removed the crankshaft sensor and measured the resistance - 1072ohms. It did produce an AC voltage when iron was passed by it. As it was out of range I thought it best to try a new one. The new one measured 1058 ohms, which surprised me, but since I had it, I tried it anyway. The car still doesn't start.
I'm beginning to think the only thing to do is jack up the air filter and drive a new car underneath it. Any further suggestions?
