Well we have replaced the crankshaft sensor and the stalling we had on idle has stopped also cleaned up the MAF sensor which has removed the 74 fault code.
 
The crank shaft fault code 19 still remains without EML light and the car will not rev over 3500 and accerleration over this point is very juddery and noisy. Up till the 3500 mark seems to be ok and running quite smooth.

We have been adviced that the cam sensor maybe at fault as well??
 
Any thoughts greatly apprieciated

[holey head]

wrong sensor for your car???

[andycuk71]

well we thought that but no part number on sensor juct a bosch one

No ecu light on?
It wont be the cam sensor
It wont have been the MAF either, its a common code that is thrown when the crank sensor fails.

Exactly what codes remain?

[andycuk71]

19 remains

stalling which was inital problem now resolved

second hand crankshaft sensor fitted believe it could be off 2.5 omega but not sure

problem now will not rev over 3500 without become cough splutter fart!!!!! below 3500 fine

19 still means its not happy with crank sensor.

Due to routing, and brittleness of cable, 2nd hand ones are not much cop.

[Dazzler]

Need to replace the sensor and its cable as stated in order to illiminate this.

Yup....you clearly got a better crank sensor than the original you had but, its still not right....code 19 is a dead give away.

and i dared to doubt this info a few weeks ago and eventually gave in and bought a new one. Guess what, it solved my code 19.

Well bit the bullet and bought a new sensor fitting went without a hitch.

Car now runs better than before and is able to rev to full range, however car has stalled again twice today after motorway run of 45 miles once car had cooled problem solved.

EML light still off but paperclip test still says crankshaft sensor help please this is really doing my head in!!!!!!!

what code, 19 or 31?

[andycuk71]

19

[maria]

19

Code 19 is fatal - change that crank sensor ASAP....

[maria]

Also, it will require so many "clean" starts, (or Tech2) to clear the code from the ECU memory..

[andycuk71]

Thanks for that Maria however if you read all the threads you will notice it has been changed twice once for 2nd hand once for new.
