does it stay on when the cars cranking? i think giving the dash a hit where the BEM is sometimes jolts it back to normal.

Not sure what it does while cranking (will check out).But i have tried the bash the dash.i got a couple of spare smart locks so may go that way.Just unusal that there being no spark or injector pulse at the same time and wondered if anything other then smart lock could cause problems like this.

Smart lock light goes out when ign is turned on and does not show while cranking of engine which would be normal??.

Check for strong blue spark with a spare spark plug out of no1 ign lead while cranking. Makesure you earth the thread of the test plug or it won't work. Alligator clip and wire to the chassis will do.
Check injector pulse by removing n01 injector plug and using 12v test bulb, see if it flashes while cranking. Can you hear the fuel pump prime when ign turned on??? That's a start.

Yes i can hear the pump working when the ign key is turned on for the first time.
I removed the number 2 plug and turned it over with no spark. I used a stefoscope to hear the injectors while turning over and i could hear no clicking of the injector. I have replaced the BEM and am just waiting for the system to accept it etc., |

On the EF if no signal from crank angle sensor will allow no spark diasbled from ECU could be faulty sometimes get dirty underneath.

Have got the car started and running by just replacing the BEM.Still remains to be seen that this was the problem.Time will tell.I too am thinking of the crank angle sensor but the cars works so I will see

Thanks Good news then. BTW is the tone wheel clean? A dirty CAS or tone wheel can disable spark etc...Something to look at, if it happens again..
