I am broken down and vehicle swings over but will not start. Engine light is on. battery is good. Beeping noise while swinging

AFRICAN CAR, SWINGS, MEANS CRANK HERE.
HERE ONLY DOORS SWING AND CRANKS SPIN./
NO ENGINE TOLD
2.0L PETROL
2.7 L PETROL
2.0L CRDI DIESEL? NOT TOLD ENGINE.
SO (TOSS DICE) LAND
GAS (PETROL ANSWERS) ME.
SPARK DEAD OR ENGINE DEAD.
NO MILES ON CAR, (ODOMETER)
2009 IS 14 YEARS OLD AND NO CAM BELT ON 2.0L LASTS THAT LONG, AND WHEN SLIPPED BELT OR SNAPPED,

COMPRESSION IS NOW ZERO OR 1/2 NORMAL
AND SPARK IS NOW DEAD UNTIL REPAIRED
OUR CARS HERE THE CAM BELT IS CHANGED EVERY 60KMILES OR 100KM.
OR IT BREAKS.
A TECH DOES 2 THINGS, SPARK DEAD
SEE IF CAM IS DEAD (NOT SPINNING)
THEN CHECKS THAT CAM IS STILL TIMED AND BELT NOT A WRECK IS I FULLY EXPECT.

THE 2.7 LITER CAM BELT DRIVE TOO. AND DIESEL

Hi Francis
Ii advise you to get a back leak test and fuel rail pressure check by expert,
the problem that you have is low fuel pressure, probably caused by injector/s back leak.
Good luck

Although I have never heard of a starter "swinging," I think you mean that it cranks the engine but the engine does not actually engage. Next step, check for adequate spark. If there is no spark, check your timing belt first (common problem as vehicles age). After that, check COIL PACK, and PLUG WIRES. Also, read out ODB codes from the engine to determine if there have been any sensor anomalies. Did you have a CHECK ENGINE light before the failure occurred?

Change diesel filter and engine oil & filter , air filter, check timing belt, brake pads and shoes then you should be good to go. Diesel filter is a must !!!!!

Have someone spray some starting fluid in the air cleaner, and see if it tries to start. If it does, you have spark.

When you run a diesel engine out of fuel ,it needs to be primed in most cases,see if you can locate the fuel filter and and fill it with diesel fuel,And depending on the yr and make, your engine could be demanding higher pressure then you would think is normal from your lift pump in the tank.

Your testing so far seems to exonerate components #1 to #5, and #13.
Since you've already replaced a number of parts to address the problem, I thought I should try to be comprehensive:

Priority Action Part Type Cause
1 Inspect Ignition Switch - Improperly Connected or Faulty Ignition Switch.
2 Inspect Battery - Battery Discharged or Faulty.
3 Inspect Battery Cable - Coroded, Broken, Shorted or Poorly Connected Battery Cable.
4 Inspect Starter Solenoid - Starter Solenoid Faulty.
5 Inspect Starter Motor - Starter Motor Faulty.
6 Inspect Wireset - Worn or Damaged Spark Plug Wires.
7 Inspect Ignition Coil - Faulty Ignition Coil.
8 Inspect Distributor Cap - Loose, Cracked or Worn Distributor Cap.
9 Inspect Spark Plug - Incorrectly Gapped or Fouled Spark Plug(s).
10 Inspect Distributor Cap and Rotor Kit - Loose, Cracked or Worn Distributor Cap, or burned rotor contacts.
11 Inspect Fuel Tank - Fuel Tank Empty.
12 Inspect Carburetor - Worn, Faulty or Damaged Carburetor.
13 Inspect Fuel Pump - Faulty Fuel Pump.
14 Inspect Fuel Pump Strainer - Fuel Pump Strainer Clogged.
15 Inspect Fuel Filter - Fuel Filter Clogged.
16 Inspect Air Filter - Air Filter Clogged.
17 Inspect Fuel Injectors - Fuel Injectors Clogged/Inoperative
18 Inspect/Test PCM - Powertrain Control Module (Computer) defective - sending incorrect ignition/timing signals to fuel injectors
19 Inspect Fuel Rail - Fuel Rail leaking/broken causing inadequate/low fuel pressure.

Use a HEI (High Energy Ignition) tester to see if you have spark to your sprak plugs - if not, suspect Ignition Coil, Distributor Cap, or Distributor Rotor.

Next time this happens, reach up and try to turn the key like you are trying to start. It shouldn't engauge starter while in gear so don't worry about that. If it starts up when you do this, you most likely have a weak switch and the weight of your keys swinging may me shutting you down.

maybe air leak some where

if the clicking sound is coming from the engine compartment, it is the starter solenoid. let her try it a couple of times. sometimes it would connect and start the car. then she can bring it home.

tnx 4 using fixya,
