Code 19
« on: 23 January 2009, 20:19:20 »
I'm not having any problems with the car, starts and runs fine, but I did a paperclip test anyway and got the fault code 19 - Incorrect RPM signal.  I get this both with the engine running and not, although the engine was cold.  The car's done just under 90k miles.

Having looked about on here it appears I might be about to have a problem with my crank sensor.  Any thoughts /ideas?  How much of a pain in the backside is this job to do for a novice?

I wasn't worried about it until I looked on here :-?

Sounds like I might be able to get away with it for a while longer then...  :)

i wouldnt go by what ive said, my elite is a whole differnt ball game, it plays mind games.

for your own peace of mind and to save a major imbarassment of breaking down on a roundabout or something, change the sensor. not expensive.  :y

It a fairly simple job?  I'm a bit, well a total, novice really!  I've read the guide and it seems alright.  

Don't suppose you know a ball park figure for the parts cost?

Sorry no idea on cost as my local place usually add on a few quid on top of everything out of greed.

All I know is when you refit the new one, you re-route the wire so that it doesnt get cooked by the manifold. having not physically done it I cant advise further, but It cant be impossible as plenty ppl on here do their own.  ;)

Cool...  I've re-read it again and it doesn't sound too bad...  I was going to the dealership tomorrow for some bulbs for my climate control anyway...    :)
