changed clutch and now not starting

[Carlos vinyls]

hey people can you help me plz i changed the clutch on my 1.8 put every thing back on and wires in the same place and now its not starting but the engine management light now on

[Jimbo]

Crank sensor defiantly connected? Only one that would really affect starting after clutch change

[Niall]

When you switch the key to postition 2, can you hear the fuel pump under the back seats priming?

[Carlos vinyls]

is that the right near the gear box the one you have to take off when the gear box comes out as can see any over than that one

niall not a 100% will check now

[Danny2009]

Not sure if the 1.8 is the same but the 2 earths on top of the gearbox tight?

this was the next thing i was going to suggest

Also, the crank shaft sensor is on top of the gearbox directly under the thermostat housing with a wire coming off of it about 10cm long with a brown plug on the end of it. If its not plugged in, it wont start.

yer the battery one and the over one on of the box yes all tight

---

yes that all plugged in

[Carlos vinyls]

there no sound from the fuel pump

[Danny2009]

Wait for Niall to get back on that one,

Easy one to do is check the fuses

[Niall]

i would suggest double checking that both the green and yellow earth and the black earth are bolted cleanly and tightly to the box.

You're missing an earth here for sure.

IIRC doesn't the EML come on until a successful start, then extinguish?

It does on mine

[Carlos vinyls]

its all working now it was the fuel cut off switch the wire came out of it

Was about to suggest this as its exactly what happened with mine when I did a clutch change :-( ended up bypassing it...was becoming a pain when friends decide to bang it so it wouldn't start :-(
