hey boys need some help,last week before i bought my new vlct, my current vlct (now half sold) decided to sh*t itself while driving along its just stalled, i thought it was fuel pump so i changed it no go,it just cranks but doesnt fire,so i checked all the usuals she s got fuel spark n air,can anybody help me out with any ideas or can someone come around and fix it $$$ paid to get it out of my shed,another thing it was nt an original turbo i just found out (didnt do homework my fault) cheers Milan [phone removed]

ecu fault codes?

i tried another na computer ,how do i check if this ones a turbo computer,

There is a difference between computers. Turbo, non and manual and auto computers. The sticker thats labelled on it usually helps. Long shot but the timing belt isnt stripped or snapped... Coz with that snapped it will still turnover but not fire... The crank will spin but the cam wont if thats the case, causing it not to fire... I didnt think of that, that Sunday you called mate.

you would have had the correct one if it was working all good, best bet would have been to check fault codes when it stopped but unplugging the ecu would have reset them and now u can't get it to start... definitely has fuel, spark and air?? does it have an immobiliser? have you tried another dizzy/cas??

CAS, check fuel pump connections, earths etc. Whip the plugs out aswell have a look at them.

When u turn over is the dizzy actually spinning... Could have snapped the cog that runs off the cam...

yeah man she s turning

does it try to start at all or just crank?

just crank

Crank Angle Sensor i'd be going back to. Bloody VLs.

coil connections all good? got a timing light?

tried that aswell unless the other was f*kt aswell

Fuel reg blocked? Maybe even take the fuel feed and return hoses off and check its getting fuel.

Did u try changing the spark plugs, cause a while back with my vl, it was running good then 2 mins after turning it off tried turning it on but wouldnt turn on, it would crank but wouldnt turn on. I changed the sparkies and it started perfectly

As -Max- said also, Dizzy, and the plugs on it, give them a good clean and plug in and out a few times.

id be double checking the fuel system and maybe ignition coil?

ah good point stooge. maybe u dizzy **** itself
