Title: Won't start
Post by: LFF64 on 02 March 2013, 13:34:14

Help just been out to start car and it won't
Battery is brand new and cranks over really well just won't fire up the only code I can find is P1890 throttle position ?? I cleared this but still no joy
I have tried both keys just in case it's that but still no good
Any ideas anyone please

Bugger looks like I will be after a crank sensor are they likely to have these in stock at dealers
I am not desperate to use the car as I have the Frontera luckily

I seem to remember reading that its not the sensor that fails but the wiring so I will have a look at this before I go ahead and buy a new one

Sorry, only it was that part number I put on my 2.6 CD a couple of months ago when it played up like, yours. Worth a try.

Took tyre to have puncture repaired they found a 30/40mm long nail right in the center of the tread he reparied this put it back on the car and it went flat again took it off and checked and it has another hole right next to the repair so needs a new tyre I would mind but the tyres only done a few hundred miles as I havent been using the car  :'(
