Help! VT cranks, won't start

[daver00]

Was driving along and the engine just suddenly cut out, now it won't start. It cranks over strong (new battery) but will not fire at all. Help!

 

[Krisp]

got fuel? got spark? maybe imobiliser key as a flat battery

 

[daver00]

Occasionally it will kick, but never actually start up.

Is the security light flashing, could be immobiliser playing up?

 

[daver00]

Ok, crank angle sensor the mechanic says, easy to change?

 

[jetboy]

Id be checking for spark , could be fuel pump or even a relay . C.A.S is easy to change if you've the right tools its behind the harmonic . I went through all this crap with my VT recently wht a pain in the arse , thing mine was intermitint meanin it would only go when it felt like it drove me nuts an still is an ive changed just about everything , its still dead on the front lawn atm ,bloody spare parts joint sold me a dodgy fuel pump , havnt had a chance to rip it out cause of all thin fricken rain

Ok, I got a new CAS, do I have to take the harmonic balancer off to change it over, or can I do it without taking the balancer off?

Nope You have to take off the balancer , theres no way out .

Ok, I replaced the CAS after three trips to Supercheap to get the right type of puller. The car started once and ran for a couple of seconds then stopped and it won't start again. When it ran, it ran pretty rough.

No spark on every lead.

Now what...?

 

[daver00]

I checked the fault codes and recieved a code 12, "Satisfactory operation", so nothing wrong then... No spark with satisfactory operation.
