help car not start
29. Aug 2011 at 14:56

hi all ,hope you can help me . i went to work and car ran fine came to it after work and again started and ran great. Then while on the way home i lost all power and the car came to stop in middle of a island (not good )
After looking at it i have found that there is no fuel getting through when i press the pressure release valve. The car will try and turn over but not start .
The relays only make a noise once then nothing unless i take them out and back in again
Fuel pump not buzzing when ignition switches on
Any ideas of what this could be as im back at work later and going devon in 2 weeks .
thanks alot . really need to get this sorted asap.. Thumbs Up!

Aug 2011 at 15:35 If the spanner light is staying on, need to get codes read, possibly an 0335. Any spark at the plugs No fuel, no spark = crank sensor

Faulty crank sensor doesn't always throw a fault code.
Your fuel problems could be result of bad crank sensor - as RobG says above "No fuel, no spark = crank sensor" - check spark at plugs mate.
