my car problems
« on: 19 June 2009, 11:37:32 »

 after having the engine cut out on me, i went to change one of my lambda sensors only to find it was finger loose half out basically...
so i tightened it back up.. gave her a start sounds ok again....

i need to give it a run see if its any better..

but i did the paperclip test and its still flashing up 89 which is the sensors but now is also flashing 19 incorrect rpm signal......

any ideas?

should i give her a run n find out.....

Code 19 is the crank sensor.
I had the same problem with one of my lamda sensors loose. It takes a few miles of driving before the ECU sorts itself after you fix the leak

My car ran much better after a quick blast of about 25miles.
The code 19 is normally only fixed by changing the sensor

The 19 is the likely reason it broke down. No amount of running/cleaning/playing will cure it, it needs replacing.
