For the last month or so my car doesn't always start
(1.8 xs) it just turns over but after a couple of trys it fires up.
But this morning it would not start at all so i looked on here and the same problem seemed to be the crank sensor being a Sunday with nowhere open i called the AA he said the same thing crank sensor but didn't have one.Ive got a 2000 meridian 1.8 so i thought id take the crank sensor of that changed them over but still wont start?
Any help would be great
thanks

Thanks, last night I replaced crank sensor with a new one and checked fuel lines pump is priming and got fuel.Tried to start it but still no luck. I've asked my manager at work as he used to run his own garage he said it could be the cam sensor or maybe even temperature sensor but to check if I got spark first before buying more bits that i might not need.So going to check that tonight and hopefully there's no spark.If no spark where is the cam sensor on these cars? If there is a spark what could this be?
thanks Jason

You could take Ecu out and prise out the panel to see if any water is swilling round in there.

Only just spotted this, is this on my old car? Did you ever get it sorted?

Switching the ECU would work if you got it unlocked or swapped the transponders in the key, otherwise the immobiliser will kick in and stop it. If they're like the '6 ecu's then you can unlock them by unplugging them while the car's ignition is on on the car it's originally from.

Did that key make it to you at all? It's not been returned since we last spoke so I assumed you'd received it.
