Renault Scenic wont fire
Variant: 1.6 privalge monaco
Model Year: 2001
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Could anyone advise my scenic 1.6 lost power while driving, no noises made just a total loss of power, I called the AA who checked fault codes but there are not any, after spraying easy start in the air intake it was proved that there was no spark , on further investigation the AA said the Crank sensor was giving a false reading and this was the problem, the car was towed home.
I have replaced the Crank sensor but the car still won’t fire,
There is Fuel in the car, the pump can be heard when the ignition is turned on, the coil packs are only a few months old, the cam belt is not broken, the AA checked the relays and said all were ok, I have tried overriding the Alarm but this isn’t making any difference , could anyone advise please, I don’t want to spend much on the car as its a 2001 although only has
75 k with one previous owner so any advice would be greatly appreciated

did yo u fit a good quality crank sensor and was wireing ok to sensor are you sure cam belt is ok it could be in place but stripped some teeth it could be imobiliser at fault transponder ring on ignition switch you need to check if power is getting to coil packs however you say no fault codes so check cam belt

Hi yes cam belt is fine

have you tried the camshaft sensor as this can give you the same fault as a non spark situation

Had this happen to my scenic rx4 a few years ago.
That turned out to be the TDC SENSOR.
