Does not want to start when hot

check/replace the crankshaft position sensor

What happens is that when I try to ignite the car, the engine cranks but never start. I really don't know what to do with it. I checked the timing belt, the sparks, the fuses I mean all the usual things, but the engine never starts. I really wish you could help me

regards,

Is the engine getting a good hot blue spark to the plugs? Is the fuel pump pressure within the manufacturer's specs?

I checked the fuel pump, the gas gushed in the cylender when i try to unscrew it just a bit, but there is a strange white smoke coming underneath the engine. I forgot to tell you just before the engine stops running, it was out of oil because i have a leaking in the oil tank.

The smoke comes from under the engine? Also, if you have fuel and spark to the engine, it should start. Tell me this... if you use starting fluid, will the engine start for a couple seconds?

Yes the smoke comes from under the engine. What do you mean by Starting fluid? is it that kind of spray, you spray in the pipe that goes to the air filter? if I tried this, the engine sounded like it was starting but did not actually.

Went out in car came back parked up went back out to car about 20 mins later car won't start and has rotten egg smell coming in the cab of the car drained battery so charged battery over night tried again in the morning still the same not starting and has egg smell battery seems to be struggling to turn over engine checked fuel to injectors all working properly any help thanks

You need to spray it into the throttle body.

A rotten egg smell is usually from the catalytic converter. Have you checked to see if the fuel pressure is within the manufacturer's specs? Are you getting spark to the plugs? Is there a chance the timing belt has broken or jumped timing?

Thank you for the hint, I will try to. But what do you think the problem may be? Is there any possibility for the problem to have any link whasoever with the timing chain? Which would mean an engine problem., right? Is the turbo play any role in the engine ignition power?

All fuel and spark plugs are fine it fired when it was warm last night but run very lumpy and cut out and now I have the smell and no firering

If the timing belt has broken or skipped time, it won't start. No to the turbo causing this issue. Let me know what happens with the starting fluid and that will help me at least diagnose where the problem is coming from. If you don't want to use the starting fluid, you can check for spark to the plugs and check to see if the fuel pressure is within the manufacturer's specs.

Let me know.

If you have spark and fuel to the engine, it should run. The smell has me a bit confused. Have you tried disconnecting the catalytic converter to see if it will run then?

I found the smell its the battery because its nacured winding it over to much has killed it put new battery on it now it works thanks for help

It starts then you press on the excelerator the car konks out

i had a rover that did that and it was the rotor arm
a guy at work has a l reg skoda favorit and his did the same
it was his rotor arm as well

thats if they still use rotor arms in your car...worth a shot

Glad you got it fixed!!!

Engine is starting, again it is turning off, i have replaced crank sensor, checked fuses but no use,
mechanic is saying it is 'instrument cluster' problem is it real ? engine starting problem is related to cluser? please help this issue..

The cluster is an interesting idea, but I doubt it. Have you checked fuel pump pressure?

Hi, ya i have checked fuel pump pressure its fine.. still same problem

Okay, at this point, we need to know if you are losing spark when this happens. Can you check that?

I tried start the vehicle it will not start, I've change the fuel pump, engine censor, I've even done baick setting if it manage to start it will not hold steaming

You need to be checking for any fault codes with a scan, also check for fuel pressure and flow, spark and injection pulse, can you do this?

I recentley changed the cambelt on my 1.9tdi engine which then would not start so I towed it to the local skoda dealer who have verified that the timing is ok but are now struggling to find the fault.I changed the fuel filter and glow plugs after doing the belt and prefilled the filter with diesel and cracked off the injector pipes and diesel spurts out so it seems to be injecting.the dealer has also verified that the compressions are good and that the camshaft is not broken.the only other thing that happens when cranking over the engine a lot of white smoke is omitted from the exhaust below the manifold.Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated,many thanks E.

repair the leaking exhaust !!
