Battery charged up to 12.6V and cranked well so think that is OK. I will
check for cam belt today.

 

I'm just wondering what could cut power to the fuel injectors but still
allow the fuel pump to run?

 

Thanks,

Rich

Could be weak battery... but sounds like a classic broken timing belt.
Can you see the cam turning through the oil fill hole?

 

Probably not, but simple to check for.

Hi Folks,

I wonder if anyone can shed some light on my issue as I'm getting
nowhere at the moment. Car is a late 2001 and was running fine before
sitting for a week. Battery wasn't great and went flat, however, I
managed to get it back to full charge. Car cranks fine but refuses to
fire. After cranking, I pulled a plug and it was completely dry and
there is no spark when cranking with the plug against the cam cover.
However, I do hear the fuel pump run for about 0.5 seconds after I stop
cranking. I have no CEL and no fault codes logged. There is no key
warning light on to suggest immobiliser issue.

Can anyone suggest any possible causes? I'm going to borrow a crank and
cam sensor to see if they are causing issues as I read sometimes they
don't cause fault codes. But other than that, what else can I check? Can
someone point me in the right direction of some wiring diagrams for a
2001?

Thanks in advance,
Rich
