Corsa 1.2 Breeze non starter

Post by Smithy199 »

Alright lads, I've got a little corsa 1.2 breeze that will not start, all 4 spark plugs are sparking, there is fuel being injected into the carb. i've changed the spark plugs and HT leads, the firing order is correct. The car turns over strong as normal but makes no attempt to start. It dose not have an alarm or immobliser so it can't be that stopping it from starting.

I'm thinking possibly crank sensor, but the crank sensor will control the spark at the plugs so in theroy if the crank sensor has failed the car would be not be sparking or fueling.

Anybody got any suggestions ?

cheers

have you checked that you have compression on all cylinders? i once had the head gasket go on mine between two cylinders, refused to start, but had fuel, spark and cranked over strongly, would be a good thing to check.
