Title: 3.0 MV6 auto 1999 - Non start when warm, now stalling sometimes
Post by: woolley11 on 19 July 2012, 22:09:07

I know it's been probably a common issue here, but is there a definitive answer with this problem? I have purchased a crankshaft sensor, but is this the fix, before I make a start swopping it over.

Obviously starts fine when cooled off.

Bit worrying about the stalling as obviously it won't start again until cooler so could be dangerous.

Any comments great fully received.

Those symptoms are often present when the crank sensor has died. Try a paper clip test and see if it's got code 19 stored.

.. and have you bought a genuine sensor? Pattern parts are often pretty poor in this case.

Thanks for confirming that. According to the Haynes manual they seem a pig to get to and replace. Is there an easy way do you know anyone?  :)

Can only fit it and see what happens.
