Civic 2002 diesel won't start
Car : 2002 Honda civic diesel
The car worked fine , till it got tranported our way, it just won't start!
Checked fuel level
Checked air in fuel
Checked fuel pressure (pump works)
Checked inhibitor (green key symbol goes out)
Checked emergency button (behind dashboardlocker)
Checked timing belt
Checked ECU/ECM codes : none found
It could be possible the diesel injectors are not operated , these are probably mass controled (since they are getting 12v) via the ECU/ECM , but I don't have PGMfi tester anymore (sold it a while back) so I can't measure pulses.
As final option we replaced camshaft position sensor, these are a common problem on the Mercedes and BMW diesels, it's a BOSCH sensor as well and these break down a lot (magnet) w/o giving a code. Needless to say this gave zero result. Worse case scenario ECM fried..
I did have the 7th gen workshopmanual on CD-rom (beeing a former Honda dealer) but it got lost
Anybody have a clue?
