P38 4.6 lpg 1996 not turning over battery not flat.

What have I done wrong ? I've just replaced my water pump, and fitted drive belt, rangie was starting & running fine except for knacked pump.. come to start rangie and there is nothing happening, can't hear starter motor engaging but battery is fine, tried jump leads suspecting battery but nothing different happened. I thinks it electrical ? got new message now on dash gearbox fault ! I haven't touched the gearbox ( weird) is there a fuse that could have blown or have a caught a wire somewhere when replacing water pump /

total mystery please help !

have a look at crank senser j

have a look for anything that has got moved or damaged, check wires to alternator are on and tight, also check its in park or neutral as it wont start in any other gear.

check the plugs on top of the engine slightly to the passenger side cos if one of those is off it wont start either!!!

thanks i will look tomorrow, is the sensor located under the water poump housing on a connecting block.

Cheers stu!

is it an auto,check you have got it in P or it wont start.

Only sensor in the vicinity of the water pump is the camshaft sensor. As has been posted, check the alternator connections etc.

or N !!!

i bort a grand vitara 3.0 auto few months back , when out 1 morning couldnt start the car, phonde around a few garages for key programming then went and sat in the car calling it all the cnuts under the sun then noticed it was in gear :doh:

stuart have you sorted it yet? if not i think it out of sinc you need to get somebody to plug it in to rovercom or the likes only takes a few mins but will cost you j

update, auto electrican can by-pass the starter motor relay that is located under the bonnet in the main fuse box so engine turns over but still want fire up?

afraid it sounds like it gone out of sinc you will need rovercom or sim to get her running if you post where you are somebody will know how can help you j
