Anyone seen fault code P1131 on a BA (petrol 6cly) before?

Car started to develop a misfire and was not driven for a week. Now wont start, she cranks over spits and farts but wont fire.

Fuel pump primes but is guess that does not rule it out.

A faulty O2 sensor would not cause the car not to start would it? Also minor vacuum leaks would not cause it to not start would they?

I am thinking crank angle sensor or no fuel.

Any tips from the B series experts welcome.

Cheers

sound like the problem I had it work out to be oil pump shat itself

Does if have any vacum leaks? These will give you issues.

Car should start with a dodgy 02 as they start in open loop and don't reference the O2 sensor until a preset time/coolant temp.

Thanks for the info Luke.

It is possible that it may have a vacum leak. It would have to be pretty serious leak for it to not start though? Also it would be on intake side as well?

What are the most common places for these to leak? Intake manifold I would guess?

Brother did mention oil light is on and stays on for a couple of seconds after cranking the engine. But was not on when it started to play up.

Thanks

Oil light is probably staying on a revs are too low. I would look at throttle body to manifold and upper manifold to lower manifold (intake) as the first possible cause. Pretty common for them to leak.

It they leak enought the MAP sensor will see this a open throttle condition and the PCM will add fuel (and cause over fueling)
