Crankshaft position sensor and crank position timing

Hi,

I'm sorry, but this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so I don't have specifics on it. The 1.4L isn't available here. However, If I recall correctly, I read the intake manifold needs removed to access it. I tried to find pics online. I found one. Take a look at it. If I am correct, that is under the intake manifold and there is a coolant line blocking it as well. There should be a rubber or plastic cover over the opening. The sensor is down inside.

Here is a link that explains how in general one is replaced, but yours is a bit different because of location:

Let me know if this helps. Sorry I don't have more info.

Take care,

Are you getting spark to the plugs?

Are you getting fuel? Will it start for a couple seconds if you use starting fluid? If you have spark, it should run unless there is a fuel issue. Most vehicles I deal with simply requires the crank sensor to be mounted. Some require setting a gap between the sensor and reluctor wheel, but timing is never done with a sensor.

Do me a favor, check to see if it will start for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, there is a fuel related issue. If it doesn't start or even try to start, record the engine while cranking and upload it for me to hear.

Take care,

You are very welcome. Let me know what you find. We'll figure it out together.

Take care,
