HI everyone, im after advice on how to adjust the micro switches on the gear selector as they a playing up, the car turns over but will not fire even with slight movements on the the selector.

 

Hi, if your car is 'turning over' it cant be your switch.

worth checking for fuel at the rail & a good spark.
Crank sensor failure seems pretty likely, I carry a spare in my glovebox!!

 

Yeah, I agree. I took a quick scan at the schematics and I don't see any from the linear switch that would cause a "cranks but won't start" condition.


One clue on the crank sensor: if the tach needle doesn't jiggle a bit when cranking, the fault is probably the cranks sensor


Cheers

Thanks robxjr6 and Doug for that information and i will check the Crank Sensor. Some more light on the situation is when turning the ignition too positon 2 the " P " on the selector does not light up and the when the gear slector is in normal P position it does not do anything, yet pulling back on the selector engages the the switch and the car begins to turn over. I have read on here that it can be caused by the Linear Switch and some gental re-alignment can resolve this, which is why i was aiming in that direction of a possible fault. Thanks Jagxjren.
