Fuel injector fault with Astra diesel

I have a 2007 Vauxhall Astra diesel 1.7 CDTi. At the moment I’m getting no fuel in at the injectors and no fault codes. I bought the vehicle with the engine half stripped due to overheating, but it was running fine before then.

I did spray some brake cleaner into air intake and the engine did run on this for a few seconds, so it is just the fuel problem.

Well there are many reasons why a engine will not start, but given that you have rebuilt the engine,then we would suggest that you may have made a error in the rebuild. Are you sure of the camshaft timing? Have you checked all fuel lines and the fuel filter?

I would also check the fuel stop solenoid, but you may have to carry out a diagnostic check on it to see if the fault lies in the ECU, or it could be the CKP (crankshaft position sensor.
