SOURCE: 2001 land rover Disco II td5 not starting - no fault
Check the crank and cam position sensors...sometimes they don't kick the SES light on until they fail. one of the main symptoms of the cam position sensor failing is the "no start, but cranks fine" issue. This happens especially when the engine has been driven and is warm. If the sensor has failed, the engine won't start at all, and everything else will seem fine..the part is usually cheap at the store, and usually easy to replace since it will be near the top of the engine somewhere. I'd start with that and see how it goes...The other sensor I mentioned is also critical in the timing of the engine the "crank sensor" if it fails, it may also cause that situation. The two sensors together tell the CPU where the cam and crank are in their timing sequences. If one isn't working, the CPU won't know where to fire what cylinder, so it just won't fire any of them. ie: No Start. I would replace them both just to be sure. Since you have checked everything else, and it cranks, I can't think of anything else at this point. Good luck. :)
SOURCE: had a new crank sensor fitted to civic 06 computer showing same fault EML keeps coming on any ideas?
Could also be a problem with the wiring between the sensor and the computer.
Hello
The engine and
transmission in this cars drivetrain is fully electronically
controlled by a computer called the PCM (Powertrain Control Module).
Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of
the problem 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)
