Hi all,
Car - Punto Mk2 1.2 8v
Previously had a fault with the car getting a fuel cut at 1600rpm and Engine Management light coming on which turned out to be a Crank Position Sensor. Changed it and it was back to running sweet. Now I'm sad to say but I've got one of these no start and then start sometime later problems!!!
It all started when I started up one morning and it took quite a few cranks to start the engine and then it fired into life. I think there was a little flash of the engine light too.
Then a few days later I was leaving work and the car didn't want to start at all. I set about looking at the plugs (which in the process I broke a lead as it was on so tight) and I had no spark. When it happened I could hear a clicking inside the car too. Once I got it back together again It started up on the first turn. I went and got a new lead and it fired up like a charm no light no nothing.
In the meantime I have been using my bike a lot so have been checking if the car starts each day and every start was ok. Then on Wed morning I get outside at 6:50am for work (I need to be there at 7) it wouldn't start again!:bang:
Today I started the car and the EML is flashing away and Im in the process of trying everything I can to sort it out without spending much if I don't have to
I plugged my ELM327 into fiatscan and got
P0300 Signal High
P0300 Signal Low
P0335 Crankshaft Position Invalid Signal
P1300 No description Fatal
Cleaned up the battery contacts and now I'm going to clean the main earths and see if that helps.
Ill post up links to the things I try along the way
Anyone got any Ideas?
