hi people
recently bought a bargain 2.0 X20XEV.
the old guy i bought it off said the crank sensor needed replacing as the code was checked at the last service,due to the light coming on now and again.
he provided the new sensor at the time of purchase and i fitted it recently.

unfortunately,the engine light comes on still,not all the time,it stayed off for 4 days,this morning it came on 4 times within half an hour (resetting when turning engine off)

when it comes on the car loses power momentarily,but clears when the light comes on and drives as normal.

will this be a historic fault which needs the code cleared or something more sinister ?

all help appreciated

Bill

use the paperclip test to read the fault code first and take it from there

could this be a cam sensor fault per chance.

cam sensor eh ?

makes you wonder if thats what the garage told the old fellow and he has bought a crank sensor

is the cam sensor easier ??,because the crank sensor was one of the worst things ive done for a long time,flipping 2 hours and scraped knuckles,lmao
