Car Unable to Start

[AmirSarip]

Hi Guys, I need help. My car (E46 2003 model) is unable to start. When I try to start, we can heard that the engine is trying to start. Problem is, it just wont start. battery is ok. What might be the cause? any good workshop in Ampang area?

My 39 faced quite a similar issue last year..changed the cam sensor..symptom: it cranked but to no avail..

There is another crank shaft position sensor too, if it fails it will cut the power supply to fuel pump. Plug into diagnose tool and you'll know for sure.

That's the reason why we buy the scanner la..RM180 is not much but really helpful when u need it.

Normally its the fuel pump!

U can unscrew the fuel hose (#11 in diagram) and try to start the car, see whether got fuel supply or not, if no, then fuel pump is the culprit. But becareful when handle fuel things.
