Clio MKII 1.6 16v
Sorry not a Clio Sport unfortunately but a MKII 1.6 16V.
Clio won't start, getting fuel but no spark, engine cranks OK until ignition released.
Connected scanner and crankshaft sensor is showing 196RPM at rest.
I read on here that somebody had 250RPM at rest, fitted new sensor and had 200RPM at rest...was never a non starter though and was put down to French eccentricity.
I also read on another post somebody was getting 190RPM after refitting engine, turned out to be a poor female connection on crankshaft sensor plug.
Could anyone please tell me what their sensor reads on live data: a) With engine at rest. b) open circuit/sensor unplugged.
I renewed my sensor and still showing revs when engine at rest, no change in RPM when cranking either.
Piggybacked loom from sensor to ECU and still showing revs at rest.
Any ideas folks?
A little info about the car.
Has been sat for over a year, replaced gearbox due to worn sun wheel shaft. Clutch, cambelt renewed at the same time.
Upon attempting to start had a solid red immobilizer light, used this forum to help diagnose and rectify that. (Failed ECU earth).
Tested loom and replaced and suspicious wires. (Made a ECU pinout because couldn't find one).
Replaced gearbox to chassis earth and battery to chassis neg with new.
Immobilizer light now clears and fuel primes, but no spark and showing RPM as above.
Only fault code stored was for o2 sensor (after cat) due to broken wire, awaiting spare. Emission and electrical fault showing on dash but assume this is for 02 sensor.
Apologies for the long post, trying to provide as much info as I can.
