Title: Faults found on pedal trick.
Post by: Jusme on 25 May 2011, 22:21:00

As previously stated had a few problems starting recently. Did the pedal trick today and got :

0300 > Random misfire.
0305 > Cylinder 5 misfire detected.
0335 > Crankshaft position sensor "A" circuit malfunction.
0420 > Catalyst system efficiency below threshold. Bank 1.
0430 > Catalyst system efficiency below threshold. Bank 2.

Car seems to run normally, and only had problem starting about 3 or 4 times, although yesterday it took about 15 mins of trying to get her started. I guess this is simply going to get worse. So what to do now, and in which order ? And is anything affecting the performance of the other faults..? Help greatly appreciated...  ;)

Thanks for advice. Is there only one type of crankshaft sensor for this engine ? It got me scared today as the engine management light was on solid all the way home....

There are 3 and Vx cannot tell you which one you have.  You need to get under the car and look at the part number on it (located by the oil filter)
