Clio 2? What engine? TDC sensor and loom are common. if its the 1.4 petrol, theres a metal block at the back of the engine with a block conector underneath, that can rub through the cables and cause all sorts of problems. imobiliser also cuts off the spark, check the imobiliser light is going out

check your tdc sensor, resistance should be around 700 ohms, if its up in the thousands or reads 0, its fooked.

its located on top of the gearbox, just underneath the thermostat housing, 2 10mm bolts

take it off the car and hold a multimeter set to read resistance across both terminals ( recomended to replace the conector and part of the wiring loom aswell as the conectors can go green with corosion and cause a high resistance)

the imobiliser will show a solid red light if there is a fault with the computer or will flash rapidly if there is a fault with the key, no need to "familiarise" the key ( assuming its an early phase one clio 2 with an I.R. key ) unless the light is flashing rapidly

should know.. work for renault

yeah.. a tdc sensor is the same for any engine, lets the injection computer know where the crankshaft is in relation to the firing order, sets the spark off at the right time. if the coils inside the sensor are broken or the conectors have become corroded, the resistance becomes too high and the computer can't tell where the pistons are, so doesnt fire a spark

also, same will apply for the imobiliser, apart from it will have an infra red key and may need re-asigning to the imobiliser ( done with rx-32 diagnostic machine ) altought the phase 2 ( crease in the center of the bonnet) runs a can-bus system and can be accessed with any generic code reader
