Crasher 3 Posted July 11, 2006 Have you had a fault code read carried out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted July 11, 2006 Welcome to the forum... Have you had it on VAGCOM? Have you changed the ECU and fuel pump relays and checked all the fuses? I assume it turns but does not fire so rules out the ignition switch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robwilson69 0 Posted July 11, 2006 hi there yes engine turns as normal but no fire i have had people look at it but not sure what equipment they used,, i am looking on ebay for bits but not sure what i need to read codes etc heard of obd and also the is an orange device on ebay portable thingy,, would be gratefull if someone knows what bits i need from ebay to read codes from ecu,, im sure fuses etc have been checked,, but i might do that myself now you mention it, what relay/fuse controlls firing etc?

Crasher 3 Posted July 11, 2006 OK, if you want to DIY that’s OK, it will cost less but take longer and you may need to buy some special tools. Firstly, you need to get a fault code report using something like VAG-COM so if this is not available to you really need to get hold of it, as guesswork can prove expensive. As your car is early and will not start, you should get a hall sender G40 fault code that may be truthful. To eliminate this you need a healthy battery. Get VAG-COM into the selection screen and then start cranking the engine constantly whilst setting VAG-COM into engine group 01 and then fault codes where you should get a truthful report. If I had to take a guess, I would say it is the hall sender in the distributor, as your car should have one being a 93. The fact that the car has had a coil pack is odd, maybe they meant the coil transformer unit as a coil “pack” normally means the 6-point unit on the side of the head. What is the chassis and engine number? Do not post these numbers, PM them as its personal info that could be abused. How about a picture of the nearside of the engine?

ben16v 0 Posted July 12, 2006 :slightlyofftopic: I assume it turns but does not fire so rules out the ignition switch? (i know nothing) prob thinking outta my arse, when my ign switch went, the engine would still turn but not fire! so wouldn`t rule out the ign switch ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted July 12, 2006 ben16v, yeah - i did wonder that after posting... morale is - never rule out the ignition switch! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
