crank sensor, relay or fuse.

thanks for that found the relay 30 going to replace soon all the fuses seem fine im a bit of a novice when it comes to cars but knw a lil bit.. if it aint the relay whats the crank sensor never heard of one of them before.....
-
Don't bother with the fuses - if the work, they work.
Crank sensor tells the ECU that the crank has rotated, so it can generate spark timing, etc. No signal = no spark.
on the 8v its under the oil filter. Typical fault is burn't away wiring from hot engine & oil leaks etc.
Are you getting a spark on the king lead?

even though its a new coil pack, this one could also be knacked!! get a volt meter on the main lead from the pack to the dizzy and you will know if it works

>get a volt meter on the main lead from the pack to the dizzy and you will know if it works
and electrocute yourself in the process.... :-( The coil pack will be putting out > 40,000 volts.

I don't think hospitallizing the OP will really help his car problem though.

hi all,
please help! my 97 2lt 8v mk3 golf gti was not starting when the engine was hot(fine when cold) so fitted new dizzy which solved start prob also fitted new spark plugs, but was running lumpy, slow etc so got local mech 2 do timing, was running alot better but wouldn`t rev past 5000rpm? now it wont start @ all! tried a different coil pack still wont start! anyone got any ideas? is there a sensor of these that would stop them starting? many thanks in advance!
-
hot start issue - often a failed / failing coolant temp sensor.
won't rev past 5000 = your machanic has messed up the ignition timing.
Usually best to start a new post for a new problem.

if the car runs and wont go past 5k then the you will prob need to replace hall sensor. when they go they stop the engine going past 5k
