....Crankshaft sensor checked ,both ends ok. ....

Have you checked the entire cable length?

Sensors are sealed and generally quite robust, it could well be the cable at fault, especially where it is routed on the V6.  

Not that i'm saying it's the CrankShaft sensor thats at fault.  

No. You'd better not mate....or its the whole sackful we'll be after

Ho Ho Ho.

Be worth reading the ecu codes i reckon.....then reseting em....coz you could have years of codes stored and may not be relevant.....then read em again after the fault comes back to see which code/s have come back

cheers

Haven't i read somewhere on the forum yhat the ECU resets the codes after so long? I think 30 starts was mentioned.

[Eliteman Steve]

Yeah , after 30ish clean starts the code is reset

Thats something I need to double check.  I don't think all codes do reset after a number of clean starts.  I believe main engine sensors do (though haven't confirmed) but some other stuff doesn't (eg 135 EML bulb and 145 immobiliser etc etc)...

Thanks T D, but Ibelieve after 30 turns of the ignition key  the ECU is cleared,read it somewhere? Probably Haynes , useless. Will check though. Nobby.

And the crankshaft sensor is probably one of 'em.

Done the paper clip test today, engine running . 145 came up, ie- faulty unit or break in wiring.  (Topbuzz ). Where do I look? anyone know?   please.

Done the paper clip test today, 145 came up ,ie incrrect immobilser signal received ( topbuzz )  .Says faulty unit or break in wiring.  Where do I look .? Any help appreciated.

Thinking about it, do you think it makes any differance opening the car with the key(door) or with the sender (fob)? .The car has no Alarm, at least its never gone off.

I can't imagine that is an issue.  'fraid I can't help you on the immobiliser.
