2.5 v6 starting takes agees
« on: 19 December 2009, 01:35:33 »
Hi
my 2.5 v6 elite is a bugger to start  and sometimes needs to be jump started  it takes that long to get going

does this sound like the crank sensor playing up?
 just wanna check before i go and buy a new one

There are conflicting reports on the reliability of the crank sensor code. Most people claim that a faulty sensor always brings up code 19.

My very early 2.5 V6 suffered a total crank sensor failure but didn't bring up code 19.

What it did do was leave the warning light illuminated while the engine was cranking, fitted a new one and the light goes out immediately the engine turns over.
