cinquecento non start

[fonz]

Hello everybody,

Just join the forum and have a bit of a problem and I need help pls.

My 1100 cinquecento wont start since replacing the ignition coils. I got sparks on all four plugs, fuel is no problem, cam shaft is turning ok. I also cleaned the crankshaft sensor and replaced the ignition relay but same problem. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Hello and welcome to the :wave:

As for your problem, it sounds to me like it could be that the plug leads weren't replaced in the correct order? If you've got fuel, sparks and the camshaft is turning then I can only assume you have a timing/ firing order problem. You should be getting some popping or backfiring when you try to start as well? Try ensuring that the plug leads are connected to the correct coil packs and in the correct order.

Good luck!

Thanks for the info. Yeah your right it got some popping if you try to start it. Will the leads follow the 1-3-4-2 order?

I tried moving the leads but same problem. How can I check if the ECU is not at fault? I got 2.3 volts on the crank sensor wires. Are these readings ok
