Hi Guys
On friday my 99 4.6 p38 (bosch fuel injection) wouldn't start I put this down to a slightly dis charged battery so on charge it went.
However when I took it off of charge it still refused to start, so a call went in to the RAC.
The nice man turned up and said "well the fuel pump sounds like it's priming ok, you have power to the coil but no power to the HT leads"
He then proceeded to take the crank sensor off to clean it up as he was fairly confident that is the problem. But alas she still would not start and still no power to the HT leads.
He was still fairly confident that the crank sensor is at fault, so i ordered one which arrived today, I promptly fitter the sensor and turned to key to the sound of silence.
So my question to you good fellows is, what the hell is wrong with my car?, she turns over but don't start.
I have a friendly mechanic comming over this evening to take a look he thinks it could be a transponder fault, but the info on the dash isn't saying that there is a fault.
If it's a coding synch problem who can I turn to in the Nottingham area?
Thanks for reading
