Clio 200 wont start

[merlin7]

Just reversing car into drive today and engine cut out wont start its the same thing that happened a couple of months ago,That was cured when i replaced the crank sensor and its been fine since,I had the os driveshaft replaced on Friday but cant see it being related to that,What are the signs of a faullty fuel pump.

can you hear it prime when you switch the ignition on? (hold start button with pressing the pedals)

 

[merlin7]

No can't hear nothing hold the start without pressing the pedals ?

 

[merlin7]

steering lock not engaging either

 

[RSRowe]

Is it turning over at all?

 

[JamesBryan]

Sounds like you've lost power/earth of some sort.

Steering lock is electronically controlled.

 

[merlin7]

yes engine turning over just not firing now strg lock is engaging plus i can hear maybe the pump priming or a relay tripping its hard to tell

 

[RSRowe]

If it’s turning over, it rules out the starter or battery.

Why did you replace the crank sensor? Was it damaged?

 

[merlin7]

yes changed crank sensor as it would not start that was in may and its been fine ever since,Battery has also been replaced less than a year ago.it was all working ok then nothing no warning lights or engine management lights on at all

 

[RSRowe]

Was the old one damaged?

 

[merlin7]

Bit dirty and when changed car was ok till today so who knows

 

[RSRowe]

The only reason I ask, is the clutch cover can fall apart and take the sensor out.

If it’s still turning over, then your battery and starter must be ok.
The cheapest/quickest thing to do would be to start working through the fuses/relays.
Check the main fuses on the block on the positive battery terminal

Got in it this morning can't hear fuel pump at all

 

[RSRowe]

I can’t hear the pump priming on either of my Mk3’s.
So I wouldn’t fixate on that being the issue.

Check the things which cost nothing to check before delving deeper imo

 

[merlin7]

sorted after checking fuses,relays etc i decided to replace the cranksensor as it was the same symptems as before.than the engine started so a faulty genuine renault crank sensor was the fault so all is good again thanks for your replys on this guys appreciated.
