Hi guys,my 306 s16 on a N plate is having trouble starting.It turns over very good but it wont start and idle at all.Its been in a garage and theyve spent ages on it trying to get it goin,but they have failed!!!!

and there well not monkeys hahaha!

Everything seems to be working but it just wont start.Any info will be much appricated!!!!

Are there any hidden sensors anywhere?Because i think its only something small causing it a big problem!

Cheers ows

Hello there.

It could be a number of problems. Can you try narrow it down. Are you getting fuel to the cylinders or a spark at the spark plug?

    yes mate,im getting those through fine!

    I said there could it be a sensor but i dont think it is!

    I think its more to do with somrthing with theinlet manifold or something

    Sorry im not a very mechanical minded man!!!!

    just took my garage a month to sort mine with similar symptoms. the diagnostics tool wouldnt work because there was a bad earth, once they found the earth it turned out to be a crank sensor. worth checking all the earth points are clean and tidy.

    If your getting fuel and spark its worth checking that the timing belt is in the correct position and tensioned correctly, if it hasnt been done already. Does it backfire when trying to start it?

    so the injectors are spraying fuel correctly and the spark plug sparks? (is it the correct spray pattern and pressure and is it a strong spark?)
    Sounds like they are not sparking or spraying at the right time then. Crankshaft sensor or timing belt issue id say.

    Does it start if you give it some accelerator and turn it over?

    When we did the engine transplant mine was playing up on me with the lack of idle.
    It turned out to be a broken wire to the IAC valve.
