You need to determine if you have spark and fuel. Is there gas in the tank?

SOURCE: Opel Astra Estate no spark so won't start

Hello
The engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

SOURCE: 1996 Opel Kadett/Astra 200i no power to ignition coil

do you have coil trigger on either wire to the coil? if so then apply 12 volts to the other wire to see if car will start.

My opel kadett cub 1992 model take long to start i chsnged starter but still the same what cos thst

There could be a number of reasons why your 1992 Opel Kadett Cub is taking a long time to start, even after replacing the starter. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the battery. Make sure the battery is fully charged and in good condition. If the battery is weak or damaged, it may not have enough power to start the engine.
  2. Check the ignition system. A faulty spark plug or ignition coil could cause the engine to misfire and not start. Check the spark plugs and ignition coils and replace them if necessary.
  3. Check the fuel system. A faulty fuel pump or clogged fuel filter could cause the engine to not start. Check the fuel pump and fuel filter and replace them if necessary.
  4. Check the fuel pressure. Low fuel pressure can cause the engine to not start. Check the fuel pressure and make sure it is within the manufacturer's specifications.
If you have checked all of these things and the problem persists, it is possible that there is an issue with the engine itself, such as a problem with the valves or cylinders. I recommend having a mechanic diagnose the problem in order to determine the cause and recommend the appropriate repair. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I have an Opel Kadett 200ie, 1996 model. I replaced the plug wires but neglected to mark the proper positions on the distributor cap.

well that firing order is wrong!
an Opel Kadett 200ie, 1996
no country told and 15 engines used world wide this car.
last one in UK is 1995
so I guess it is not UK?
sold under 11 names world wide.
IN UK it is really a Vauxhall Astra Mk II. badged as Opel. now that is confusing.
not diesel, but petrol AND ALL ARE INLINE 4 BANGER'S.
every car made ,every manual for for them in print tells you 2 answers ( distributors)
1: lost all distrib setting
2: or not lost SETTINGS, Crank not turned.

so read that book it tells you to do this.

SPIN ENGINE TO SEE DISTRIB ROTOR ROTATION CCW OR CW/? (HOLD THAT THOUGHT)
by hand
set crank pulley TO TDC ,-0 DEGREE'S AND BOTH VALVES CLOSED #1 CYLINDER. (CALLED FIRING)#1
CAP OFF. MARK ROTOR #1 TO DISTRIB BODY
THEN CAP ON AND MARK #1 ON CAP.
PUT #1 WIRE TO #1 CAP
AND 1,3,4,2, IN CW OR CCW DIRECTION SEEn ABOVE. at FIRST STEP.

DONE car runs.
if distributor was pulled there are 15 engine answers.

next time on all cars made on earth with HV spark wires
do them 1 at a time. and win.
distribs or any car with HV spark wires seen (sets)

Replace ignition lock cylinder

Hi Alex, The ignition assembly is mounted onto the steering column with blind bolts. These are special bolts designed in such a way that the heads break off when tightened to the correct torque. We usually remove them with a cold chisel and hammer. An alternative is to cut a slot into which a screw driver can be fitted. Regards John

Opel kadette repairs

Check the tank vent hoses on the filler pipe in the wheel arch, if the show hair cracks replace the lot up and down the tank, very common problem with the Kadett.
