2002 s60. Won't start

[james166]

To start the car you need fuel, air, spark and compression. It sounds like the first three are in order, so have you considered a compression test?

I will check that next, but it did just have a valve job a couple 1000 miles ago.

Ok today's results or lack there of.

Installed new OEM Crank Position Sensor and its holder. LEt me tell you, the holder is one mother to get off! If I was given any super power, it would be the ability to shrink my hands down to that of a 3 year old yet still have the strength of a grown man.

Anyway, no change, no start.

I tried the next suggestion, pull the plugs and add some carb cleaner and attempt start. Maybe it popped or sounded promising, but the second you release the key, nothing.

Cleared codes. The minute I try to start it, back comes P2121 (throttle pedal circuit D) and P0037 O2 sensor.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Repeat with starter fluid ( active ingredient diethyl ether) NOT carb cleaner ( active ingredient xylene toluene)

Time for a compression test while you have plugs out, too.

Compression test as follows
#1- 120
#2- 130
#3- 120
#4- 125
#5- 135

Tested fuel pressure today and captured data and need more thoughts.

Fuel pressure was 52psi and holding.

Can anyone give me where I should look next?

Thanks

OK, discovered a new issue.

I felt that the car, even with a fully charged battery and all plugs pulled out, turned over quickly. so I decided to check fuses and the A/C fuse is blown. Replaced and it blew again.

I decided to get an assistant from the house, she cranked it over as I watched and the serpentine belt does not move, it appears that the A/C pulley is stuck. I can spin the triangular portion of the clutch freely.

Are parts available for rebuilding or is this a whole compressor thing?

Not trying to hi-jack, but this seems related as the engine may not be spinning fast enough to start?

Thanks

Take the serpentine belt off completely and try starting

Good compression
Good fuel pressure

Retry starting fluid in cylinders with no serp belt to confirm ignition problem

[Jimmyd48]

Serpentine belt off, car starts right up without using starting fluid. Idling rough, but that could be voltage related.

So, where can I get just the clutch and pulley items? Do not want to crack open the system if I can avoid it.

Thanks.

[Jimmyd48]

After all the testing and trial and errors, I finally had an assistant try to start the car while I was under the hood.

The issue was the A/C pulley is seized and would not allow fast enough cranking of engine. Pulled belt off and tried and she fired right up.

A BIG thank you to all for advice and suggestions! Now to find a pulley and clutch set-up.
