Turning over but not firing..

[algreene]

Hi

3 times now the 182 has failed to fire up in the last few months. Previous two times it started after 10-15 mins or so.

This time its been 3 days. Half a tank of petrol in it. And its turning over as battery is ok for now. Pushed it up and down the road etc etc and nothing.

Iv no idea what to look at now, and seeing as its on our drive way I may have to get it towed to a garage.

Any ideas at all??

Fuel Compression Spark check for all thses

but my money is on crank sensor

Take your crank position sensor off and give it a clean

It's at the top of the gear box, where it joins engine

Think it's 2 10mm bolts

Right.. Iv no idea about this car or most cars to be fair.

Is this an under the car job? Iv been searching online and the crank sensor is one on my list to check, along with starter motor connection and the looms. Also Im gonna check the battery voltage..

cheers for the comments guys!

To get to the sensor you need to remove the standard airbox, it is located underneath the thermostat housing( follow the thin black pipe at the very top of coolant bottle all the way down and that's it)

Basicly it's directly underneath that, where the gear box is bolted to engine, looks sort of bannana shaped with sensor in middle

Not trying to take piss ect just make it easy to find

Would link pics but on phone

Have a search on here should be loads of threads on it tbh

Anyways hope this helps

Cheers
