Dale Granada Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi, I've checked every aspect of the car, but depsite having been a 1st time starter for 200,000 miles, it will not start now. Coil, distributor, plugs, hydraulic tappets, oil pump, starter, engine turn over and fuel delivery all in working order. End result of attempts to start are wet plugs, strong smell of fuel and much exasperation. Car in too good condition to throw away. The crankshaft sensor seems to be working okay, so why won't it start? Any sensible ideas gratefully appreciated. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 if the plugs are not sparking, the usual suspects are crank position sensor or it's wiring, or ignition module. On the DOHC the sensor sometimes gets covered in oil. or if you have an imboliser on the car it could also be playing up.also check the connector at the auto select stalk is ok.

c.a.p.r.i Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I have exactly the same issue with my 1994 2.0 DOHC Granada. The 15 amp ignition fuse had blown (drivers side fuse box) causing no lights on the dash and no power to the starter, with the fuse replaced i had lights on the dash and the engine then turned over but no spark. There is power to the coil but is not switching to indicate a spark, could this be a crankshaft sensor/blown ECU? The ignition module is fine as i tested it on another vehicle, can't understand why the fuse had blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
