190 V6 just died, electrics, but no crank.
New to the forums, so hi all.
Just wondering if anyone may be able to shed a little light on a problem, driving up a hill, all power to vehicle died. Asked a few other places, have tried 4 of the five suggestions so far. Changed camshaft sensor. Changed crankshaft sensor. Checked fuel inertia switched. Reset ECU. Had p0340 code which I believe is camshaft sensor, when changed, that code has now cleared and not reappeared. Will be checking for FFS over the weekend, have full power, electrics etc but the engine doesn't seem to crank, seems to have no compression, have checked fuses and relays, can't see a problem, have checked earth's, cam belt appears to be fine as do the others, have a video but can't seem to find how to post it. Would FFS cause a lack of compression? Sorry for essay, new to ZT's, have had a ZR for years, but the old V6 is a bit different to that. Thanks I'm advance for any suggestions/advice. Regards Terry. |

Something i can think of is a wet ECU, as you were going uphill when it died.

If all sensors are now ok and the engine turns over:
- Clip needed on the fuel filter? If separated it won't run. Standard it doesn't have a clip, you can get these on ebay. - Had a KV6 not starting a month ago, no errors, replaced intank fuel pump (should run for a couple of seconds, didn't hear anything) and all is ok again.... Rob

Would that not have knocked out the power, central locking etc as well though, never lost power, just engine power.

It seems to be spinning, but does not seem to crank at all, so maybe I should check for FFS before trying anything else then, cheers.

1.8/v6 Petrol ECU's are waterproofed - you would only normally get a drowned ECU on a diesel.

Check and clean the spade terminal on the starter motor if corroded it can cause non starting with lights on.

Dunno about anybody else but I'm getting confused by the use of "cranking" and "spinning" Cranking is the normal turning over of the engine just before it fires, spinning indicates (to me) the engine turning over much faster than normal due to a lack of resistance.
Can you clarify what's happening when you try to start the car? Re the video, you'd need to upload it to Youtube then post a link to it here. |

Also,... could a broken cam belt cause the engine to spin freely and not fire?
