Title: Cutting out
Post by: Vmax on 17 May 2009, 20:42:08

Hello all. My car cuts out every now and then when coming to a stop or shortly after starting. It had been laid up for 8 months and I have just done the camcover gaskets. Any ideas? there is no juddering it drives smoothly but cuts out all of a sudden at traffic lights etc or when reversing into a parking space. It starts again straight away  :-/

Have you got any fault codes out of it?

Could it be the ICV?

I have got the same problem, Just checked and my fault code is 19 which I beleive is the crank sensor starting to break down.

I was going to say crank sensor but the OP says it happens when coming to a stop or just after starting, which would be low revs, so I thought ICV at first.

However, get some codes out of it and it should be easier to find the problem.

Just Paper clipped it. Yup Code 19. Just bought a replacement sensor. Is it an easy fit? one for one swap, or is there anything to look out for?  :y

It is the one job I haven't done yet on my car in nearly ten glorious years of ownership.

There are I believe two types of sensor, the small difference being the plug shape that joins the loom. The other end with the sensor fits into a hole near the oil filter and is held in place by a small bolt. presumably you bought the right one with chassis/eng no's.

The secret of success (apparently) when fitting is to route it out of the way of heat and oil. No easy matter when you see where it is. I believe that the VX garages often just cut the old one and then instal the new one.

Let us know how you get on
