Previous problem thought i ran out of fuel but i t turns out i have no spark and no injector pulse. This is either ecu or crank sensor i assume. Would it fire if theres a fault code on the ecu. Help anybody please still stuck in pub car park. Thanks for any help.

See if you can hear the fuel pump prime when you turn on the ignition. If not, this together with no spark at the plugs could well mean the Hall Sender is kaput. Sometimes when this fails, if you leave it for half an hour and try again it might fire up!!!Originally posted by Greenm3

could be a knock sensor, i know one counts teeth, and the other counts a notch and one of them tells something else where tdc is you can test these with a multi meter, i had a simalar problem but forgot alot of the info i was told as you can guess!! have you tried bump starting?

does your car turn over? if it turns, then my guess would be fuel pump.
if it doesn't turn over, my guess is camshaft position sensor or ignition switch.
good luck!Joe "NoNonsense"

My fuel pump is getting noisy, and i have had a quote for £65 all in for an original Bosch item from VolksRange in Stockton. Its also on the to do list.

better to be safe than sorry Graham. is your fuel pump within the tank in the S2...if so, keep lots of fuel in there, it keeps the pump cooler and it will last longer!Originally posted by GrahamJoe "NoNonsense"

right...sorry for my half wit brother who was relaying messages while i was in the car park, went from bad to worse the recovery company baisically ripped the front bumper off whilst towing it onto the lorry.
I'm not going to do anything about it cause my insurance premium is too good at the moment to dent!
Cant be crack position sensor....its a 3B duh!
Martyn at vag parts a big thankyou for advise over the telephone....will check those sensors and the dizzy when it stops raining.
Any more advice would be helpful from the guru's!
Thanks

Our cars don't have a priming sequence for the fuel pressure.
Take the dizzy cap out. I bet the rotor won't turn and you have a broken plastic drive gear..
Or the the hall sender..
Could be also a dead fuel pump, fuel pump relay or dodgy immo wiring.-Comment

Well its not the fuel pump cos i got sprayed with fuel nastily....she will crank over on the starter motor its just theres no spark and no injector signal......will up date on this tomorrow having had a look at the sensors and the dizzy....
night...and thanks for the helpComment

Bump starting is pure folly. Won't make a difference.

Porkkis is onto it... Only other thing I would add (as its a 3B) is the coil and HT lead from that to the dissy.
Long shot is a mightily shifted cambelt which means the camshafts (and dissy) are out of position - the ECU won't be happy with that.
A simple DVM will find the fault, but if its G4, G28 or G40 the ECU should also throw up fault codes that will save time.Paul Nugent

When a similar problem happened on mine it turned out to be the crank position sensor, but it was the bit it measures on the flywheel (is it a peg that sticks out or something?) that was broken not the actual sensor. without this working the ecu doesn't send a spark so nothing works. this took me ages to diagnose.
bit of a last resort though.Comment
