(Not something you should do often!)

At this point verify the timing as well, I think the diesel is as for the PSA 2 litre petrol and has a flywheel pinning hole to its rear. Be careful not to wind the motor backwards if you miss the timing point - go around twice more.

No, turns over but wont start.

Regarding the timing, it was fine before i started working on the intake manifold. i can't see how the intake manifold and injector removable can offset the timing. If it is a timing chain issue, then it's an amazing coincidence a bad chain causing to mess up the timing on the next start after. But hey..... those odds of such a coincidence to happen to me is likely. I am that cursed.

By the way, if timing was off, surely i would get a number of codes. But i will check it out anyway and thanks for your tips.

Slight mistiming generally gives a cam sensor fault, leading the novice to replace that sensor.

Testing for firing with another fuel (or even a splash of diesel into the intake) is a good way to see if the mechanical aspects of a motor are sound.

I do appreciate your time helping me out Citroen thank you.

Still not getting the full 12v power into the sensor which is strange but getting the 5v from the signal wire which is supposed to.

To verify timing, i will check and lineup flywheel with the pinning hole. If i do that, would i also need to remove the timing belt cover and check that the camshaft and crank all lineup aswell? So it's virtually doing a timing belt change without placing a new belt?
