Bought a non running (timing belt failure) Clio 172 2002 phase 2.
Engine has been rebuilt (new valves etc), new belts and timing done using correct tools (TDC pin, camlock and pulley lock) and torqued to correct values with new bolts/nuts where recommended etc etc.
When I turn the key one notch at a time the STOP signal remains and it wont turn over.
When I turn the key quickly to start, the car turns over for a few seconds but wont fire, after a second or 2 of trying the starter stops. (I assume by turning the key quickly this is bipassing the ECU system checks, which allows it to turn over, before the ECU tells it to stop.)
I dont beleive its getting fuel or spark so I am assuming its an electrical/system fault.
I swapped the TDC with my other 172 (same age) and there is no change.
Is there any other swappable items/sensors I can try off my other 172 before I bite the bullet and tow it down to Renault?
Thanks, Dave.
