Fault Codes
« on: 15 October 2008, 22:48:14 »

Ok so I know that 19 is crank shaft sensor, and will need replacing before I strip out the engine to sell (3.0 v6 98 elite) but do you think all of the other codes its chucking out and the slightly rough running since the EML came on earlier is related and will go away when cranks sorted? seems odd that the engine which ran fine with no EML has suddenly developed 5 or 6 different codes and seems unlikely 2 or 3 or 4 things would suddenly fail at once...

Pretty certain the 89 and 73 will go away when 19 is sorted...but what about 16 (knock sensor??) and I think there was another (maybe fifty something) but didnt have a pen at the time to write them all down lol

The crank sensor failure can throw up all sorts of other problems . as the "spark" is not happening at the correct time, therefore the engine runs rough and other sensors start to throw their own faults ....

Sort out the 19 first .. then IMHO the others will rapidly dissapear

...what entwood said as the crank sensor being fubar could throw out the timing so hence develope a bit of a knock.
if it's like mine then lambda and cam sensor both go at once lmao!

Yeah thought so...will swap the cam sensor from the scrapper and see if the rest goes away as I suspect it will...ECU is permenently on but flickering slightly due to rough running...but as said timing will be slightly out from crank sensor failing...add it to the list of to do things tomorrow lol
