So, is it starting and running better now?

My previous similar experience with crank fault code (I do not remember if it was 19 or some other if there is another) happened when my cam belt jumped couple of teeth some years ago. It may cause similar running problems ...

Yes - the car starts fine now - but it does not like to idle.

The revs dip and the dash lights flicker as if its about to stall.

The ICV is super clean.

The engine growls when put into reverse by simply moving the auto lever.

Unable to dirve it at the moment due to the snow.

Cambet was changed only 4,000 miles ago.

Not much help but just FYI, I had a crank sensor fail about 2 years ago, engine was very hard to start.

Replaced with a genuine item which failed again after about 6 months. Replaced with another genuine item from vauxhall.

Since then I've covered about 50k miles and I have had code 19 every time I've paperclipped (I check just before each service every 3 months). Car runs fine, smooth and starts every time first time.

I've given up worrying about it.
