Opel corsa C 1.4 only starts for 3 seconds and cuts off
80

Asked by Sakade May 19, 2019 at 10:47 AM about the 2004 Opel Corsa C

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Opel Corsa C 1.4-2004 model (South Africa)
starts only for 3 seconds and cuts off. The engine
was recently redone with new vavles fitted and a
new crank sensor fitted after it had mixed oil and
water. When starting the car it does crank and
starts but will soon die down after running for
about 5 seconds. Another thing that i noticed is
that on the second and subsequent attempts to
start it it fails completely but if left for about 30
minutes it will start but only run for about 5
seconds and then cut off again. I have put in a new
crank sensor and reset the it but still to no avail. I
have checked the fuel pressure it seems to be fine
but i noticed that the plugs are also wet from the
petrol. What could be the problem? Any advice will
be of greatly appreciated. Thankyou.
