Its in the control box under the bonnet
Just read back and the car is a 1996 so it is just plug and play
Hello
My petrol vito has the same engine. I left it standing for three months then it would not start. I took the injectors out, checked the fuel, plugs etc. Nothing wrong. I bought a diagnostic socket tested it and it ws the crank sensor, I think the end gets rusty and won't read. I bought a new one (£85) and it worked fine. You may get away with cleaning the rust off the end but it is very tight and hard to remove without damaging the cable. I would bet it is the crank sensor. If your crank sensor doesn't know where top dead centre is, it won't spark and inject at the right point.
Good luck Carl
A simple ohm meter will tell you, 1 k ohm when good
That cannot be right unless it has gone short circuit
82.25K could be OK but not 0.825 ohms
I put the multimetre on 2k max and that's what i got. Sry that means 0.825 kohms
I am not awake yet and that looks to be OK, and near enough 1KΩ , they are funny things to measure as the field set up from the battery in the meter apposes the reading
so the cps is ok then? the garage said they put a new one in but still no joy.
Its OK and they were telling the truth,,sorry about the keeping fit bit, but I hate anyone buying things that they do not need
things point to ecu then?
afraid so
Oh thats it then. can't afford that. It is a shame because it has been a lovely car. Still taxed and the tank is full.
There are loads of these being broken up, you should get one cheap
