Just out of curiosity would the failing crank sensor also cause the EML light to come on as it has stored a fault code and didn,t read any mention of that.

Reason I ask is I also have a slight hesitation over 4k although does rev beyond that...as no EML I didn,t think to read the codes stored as had assumed NO EML....NO CODE

19 Doesn't tend to put on the EML, a huge oversight imho.

Situation worse than originally thought  :-[ :-[

Last crank sensor fitted 30/04/2007 :-X think it is probably due another just for lasting that long  ;D

Both fuel filter and plugs replaced less than 10k ago along with leads and dispack . :y

Will have a close look at 2/4/6 bank as did have a whiff of oil earlier,although oil and breathers also done less than 2k ago too.

Fancy a morning on the car  ;D
