Is this my crank sensor?
« on: 31 January 2007, 10:58:00 »
Right, got the day off to do my crank sensor (yes it probably will take that long!)
Is this the crank sensor?


Excuse the phone camera pictures, my girlfriend has taken our proper camera to school.
She's a teacher by the way, I don't go out with a schoolgirl... :o

Cheers!

No, that is the lambda sensor.....and its mounted in the exaust!

To locate the cranks sensor......jack the passenger side of the car up and get under it just behind the passenger wheel near the lambda sensor on the passenger side.

You should be able to see the engine block and the large cylinder which is the oil filter housing.....just rearward of this is the crank sensor.....black plastic item with a single torx bolt in it.

It may be you know, had to flip it as I took the picture upside down! Is the sensor right next to the oil filter - almost touching with a silvery coloured sheath over the cable?

Does it start if you give it a small amount of throttle (only a small amount!)

Is there fuel pressure (carefuly undo one of the fuel lines on the left side of the plenum until fuel squirts out to confirm)

There is an amount of fuel dripping out when I take it off, do I need to try and start the engine to test properly? I'm on my own so may be a bit difficult if that's what I need to do.

I couldn't accuse it of spraying out, a dribble from each one before stopping really. Does it make a difference that it hasn't been started for a week or should it always be under pressure?
Many thanks.

The fuel pump should pressure it within a couple of secs of ign being on...
