Peugeot 207 Crank no start Sign In

We have a Peugeot 207, 2007 model, not sure about engine size, 80 000 miles and it’s an automatic. The last time car ran it moved a few meters inside the yard and died. I serviced it recently (spark plugs, air filter, oil & filter replaced). Initially I thought it was fuel supply as I used quick start in air filter hose and car moved back a few meters. Unfortunately I replaced the fuel pump, but problem still persist. Had a mechanic looked at it who said fuel pump pressure is too much. Haven’t tested actual pressure, though I thought other mechanisms in the car would regulate that. Spark was checked and present (though we did not use exact OEM plugs?) Anyway had two separate people checked with diagnostic tool and both got codes P1007 and P1014 apparently something to do with “variable valve lift position position sensor track 1 (and 2 for the latter). What could this issue be? Is it worth opening cylinder cover to inspect valve lifters or swap cam sensors, etc.

We don't have that car here so we have no specific info for it.

It sounds like you have issues with the variable cam timing for the codes.

As far as starting it..........

All "crank, no start" conditions are approached in the same way. Every engine requires certain functions to be able to run. Some of these functions rely on specific components to work and some components are part of more than one function so it is important to see the whole picture to be able to conclude anything about what may have failed. Also, these functions can ONLY be tested during the failure. Any other time and they will simply test good because the problem isn't present at the moment.
If you approach this in any other way, you are merely guessing and that only serves to replace unnecessary parts and wastes money.



Every engine requires spark, fuel and compression to run. That's what we have to look for.

These are the basics that need to be tested and will give us the info required to isolate a cause.

1) Test for spark at the plug end of the wire using a spark tester. If none found, check for power supply on the + terminal of the coil with the key on.


2) Test for injector pulse using a small bulb called a noid light. If none found, check for power supply at one side of the injector with the key on.


3) Use a fuel pressure gauge to test for correct fuel pressure, also noticing if the pressure holds when key is shut off.

4) If all of these things check good, then you would need to do a complete compression test.

Once you have determined which of these functions has dropped out,
you will know which system is having the problem.
