Clio 172 53 plate will not start.

[Carl4310]

Hi I'm new to this as a proud owner of a 172 I've just purchased
had a slight problem with the car today was driving along and an orange light came on the dash and the car cut out and would not start what so ever.
Could this be the coil pack ? I put a second hand 1 on today just to try brand new 1 is on it's way car still would not start.
Took a plug out and turned the car over no spark or no smell of fuel so I'm thinking could be a sensor ?
Would appreciate it I'f sum1 could help me thanks

When was the timing/aux belt last changed?

Crank position sensor (or whatever its called) which is on top of the gearbox could be faulty if its just turning over and not firing.

changed this today still no luck no fuel or spark still ?
does the code need to be deleted for the car to reconise the new part ? thanks

 

[Matt Cup]

No, should just start straight away.

I notice you've got a similar thread about the same thing, have you looked at MickPMs post about a fuse/relay?

 

[Carl4310]

[Carl4310]

I have te same problem with mine just now, I had mine on the fault reader and it has come back throttle position sensor i am just trying to find out where to get one from just now.
Mines was running perfect then just died

I just found the problem it was a fuse gone by the relays changed it and the car runs now it's missing big time tho the plugs are all sparking going to try another crank sensor and clean the tos
tps
