1999 1.2 16V STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO

Post by LORDPSK »

I have a 1999 1.2 16v 5 door corsa, the car will turn over but fail to start, try giving it a push start and then try on the key and the car will start, I think it sounds like a crank shaft sensor faulty, cannot get the code reader to talk to car I think that it is not OBII complyant.

the diagnostic plug has only 6 wires in it so I cannot jump the wires to read the codes.

Anybody any suggestions
