Car cranking but not starting

Unread post by Cdenisacristiana1 »

I have a citroen c4 grand Picasso, 2017, 1.6, diesel. Car lost a bit of power while driving, then all lights came up and then stopped completely and wouldn’t start anymore.
The only error that came up was the crankshaft position sensor which we have changes and no more faults are coming up.

I’ve had mixed advice, fuel pump or skipped timing. I am at a loss. Please any advice is useful

I would suggest you have a full diagnostic check done with a high end tester and maybe look at the freeze data to determine any clues. :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

When it turns over during cranking, does it sound 'normal' or does it turn over extremely quickly, or unevenly?
