* HELP PLEASE* someone must know something VX Berlina Series II
Problem : Will not crank at all
Ok this may take a little bit to read , but I am trying to explain the best way I can , the problems I am having , to see if anyone may be able to shed any light . Ok so cpl months ago my vx seemed like it was missing intermittently , and at times was quite sluggish when I accelerated . This was becoming more frequent within the last week before she just decided to stop completely . At times , when sitting at the lights when I'd finish work it would just shudder then stall . ( while driving to work in the morning , would have no problems) this would happen continuously until I got home , to bypass this I would put it into neutral and rev the engine , whilst doing 70 km or 100 km etc , and make it home .
So thinking it was the battery I put it on charge overnight , but the next morning . nothing . All electrics , central locking . pwr windows etc were perfect , The relays were all clicking as they should , but I couldnt hear the fuel pump start .
So my list of things I thought was wrong , I tested , and replaced as follows
1. replaced the battery
2. replaced the alternator
3. replaced the starter motor
4. replaced the fuel pump and filter
5. replaced the spark plug leads
6. replaced the BCM and PCM used TECH 2
7. replaced the crank angle sensor
all Items were the correct ones and were all brand new .
I have tested and checked every relay and fuse all were fine , tested the ignition coil , could not fault it .Gone through all the electrical connections I could locate and made sure they were clean and connected correctly , checked for any damaged wires , Have had 2 auto sparkies and 2 mechanics out to see if they could help. They have all scratched their heads as they have taken my money from me ( fair enough )
I'm close to tears because I dont have a clue anymore . I have scoured the service manual . looked online , asked many (sort-of) knowledgable people who have said various things to try . but to no avail . I need to get my car working . Only thing I havent replaced yet Is my key , But that all seems to be working fine .
Please anyone ..... some new ideas . I'm sick of wasting bloody money
ty all for your time
