Sorry couldn't find matrix on the category info.....we actually.....have hyundai matrix 1.5 diesel yr 2003...we were having problems starting the car so we got the glow plugs changed at a garage but this still did not resolve the problem..we took it back to the garage who tried to change the battery but said it was not that either and they could not find the fault!!?? the car won't start at all now so we are desperate!!??
Just make sure your getting fuel at each injector by cracking them open a little when cranking it over. As long as your getting fuel, and it cranks fast enough, it is impossible for it to NOT start. Deisel engines can be started also with a quick spray of starter fluid, it has to fire, there's nothing to stop it from starting. Just keep at it and be sure it's getting fuel at every cylinder and cranks fast enough. Your only other problem could be the injector pump out of time if you have done anything ay all with it. Best not to have touched that injector pump in the first place, EVER. Lotsa luck pal, ya just gotta stay on it.

What was it doing before this? What is working? What does it sound like when you try to start it? Is your engine getting fuel?

I believe your problem is with your crankshaft sensor. You may not have had to change glow plugs. Your problem seems to be with spark. If you change this part ,the crankshaft sensor, you should be OK. This sensor is located at the left front of your engine. Please let me know how you make out. GOOD LUCK.
