i have a question for anyone on here that can help, here it goes...... i have a m reg RS1800 and it isnt starting now, its turning over but will not start, i have tried the crank shaft sensor and its not that, apparantlery there is some dodgy wiring around by the ecu but not sure if that would do anything, its not injecting fuel and its not sparking, i dont know what to do next, can you help?

[Dazza]

If its not injecting, and not sparking then Id say the problem sounds ECU or wiring related. Since you mention having 'dodgey' wiring id suspect that mate - Try and tidy it up or at least make sure its not earthing out and everything is connected.

No fuel and no spark I would start by changing the Crank Position Sensor. Your symptoms are classic of that given when it goes down

i have tried the crank shaft sensor and its not ?

already replaced it mate i am completely stuck

[Oranoco]

Ooo Did you compare the two sensors and did you try a brand new one?

Something doesn't sound right though mate and after the CPS there isn't much I can think of without looking properly and I'm a bit far to offer or I would

wot r u good wit zetec engines? if you wanna come have a look if you think you might know i will come pick you up. i think it might be the ford immobiliser packed up?

[Oranoco]

I can fudge my way about with a Zetec. Better with the old CVH in all honesty. Got a mate clued up though so will drop him a line and see if he has any suggestions.

I've got to go to Ikea anyway to look at Kitchens She's only having a cheap one as I want to finish my Fiesta

[gavrs1800]

cool sounds like fun, yeah give ur mate a call and let me know yeah? much appreciated

[Oranoco]

Right, had a quick natter and he straight away went for CPS but as you have tried this he has suggested you try cleaning up the earths for the ECU. After that you are really fishing about in the dark.

Might be worth getting a Gunsons fault finder for £30 from a motorfactors and see what fault codes it brings up.

HTH

[allinking]

I have a fault code reader I no longer need due to the ecu upgrade if you want it with instruction might help.

[gavrs1800]

yeah that would be helpful, but how do you use it? r u selling yours then?

[gavrs1800]

yeah it was the crank shaft sensor, had a new one fitted and she is like brand new now lol

[Oranoco]

So it was the CPS then?

Doh!!!!

Least you're sorted though eh

[gavrs1800]

yeah thank god for that, i thought somethin was seriously wrong wit it but lucky for me it was only the cps
