Fault Code Pic - Anyone wanna shed some light

[Leemarksmith]

Leading on from my other thread, got Dans old vec to mine and these are the fault codes for it not starting...



I'm rubbish when it comes to the engine side of things, garage my mate went to said belts gone? Then offered him £400 for car! Lol... My 1st breakdown guy who got codes said it sounds like its a lack of compression, got him to clear the blanked EGR code while at it

It's off to my brother in laws - brothers garage, so won't really be mates rates, but fingers crossed its not that bad...

Not sure which he used... He said it def needs a new cam sensor tho...

Worse case scenario it's nacked and gets stripped to finish mine, but I want it to live it's too nice...

Josh who had it just had a full service on 2nd Feb so god knows what he's done to it...

Try to get a camshaft position sensor from a scrappy. The rail pressure sensor also seems to be making some problems...worth a try

dont forget that normaly the first fault will almost certainly produce other faults so a code will apear for them, cam sensor deffo needs looking at, that could be all thats wrong with it, and just another note i know from experience the bosch unit being used doesnt always comunicate with the car's propperly, a mates astra was read using one and it was a different code and problem that op-com/tech2 picked up, the op-com/tech2 code was the sorrect one and the car was soon fixed...

Check alternator

if it was me a new cam sensor and fire it over if it starts a meter on the batt see what the volts is or look at the diag machine if its 14.5 or the likes alt should be ok then write the faults down codes etc and clear them see what comes back and go from there

Check alternator
