This has absolutely nothing to do with me making fun of Timbuk's Omega problems! :-/ That, or Kev mistook my car for Timbuk's and came all the way to Cov to prove a point. ;)
Yes, to quote the great uno-nad, it's the *&(%^^&%$*((&*)) CRANK SENSOR!!! >:(
And it happened exactly at 12:30 when VX closes . . .
And I got a 1hr ride home on the bus for my troubles . . .
And these double-decker buses make me thoroughly ill . . .
And my g/f was giving me grief all the way home about opening my big mouth and making fun of Timbuk . . . ::) :P
And now I get another 1hr ride on the bus on Monday to got to VX, get wrong part, go back to car and fix it on the side of the road . . . >:(
And I was just thinking how I was enjoying my new miggy and wouldn't have to touch it until it got warm again . . . . :-[
Big thanks to Timbuk for leaving me his jackstands, giving us a ride to the bus station, and generally being a great guy! Big thanks to TB for taking SOS calls on a Sat afternoon, and helping nail down the diagnosis in less than 10 mins. :y
For future reference, code 19 didn't show up if turned the ignition off. Got the car to start, it died after 1-2mins, checked codes without turning ignition off after it died and 19 finally showed up. Wasn't showing up when the car wouldn't start.
-
19 = incorrect rpm signal
31 = no rpm signal (hence why normal if car not running)
I reckon that you were getting no rpm signal, hence why it would start. When it did start and ran for a couple of mins, started getting duff signals, so promptly cut out, and stored a 19.
Bugger it had to happen today, and gotta wait until Monday to get part (assuming they have one in stock) >:(
-
Yup your right ,i am a great guy 8-) :D ::)
-
It didn't store a 19 after the first time it started. Turned ignition off and tried cranking it again before checking codes, so may have cleared it somehow.
-
But dont bring your miggy anywhere near me though, since yesterday i have managed to break mine, which is now dead on my drive and now i have Theo's dead outside the house i am working at :o

I think the people here are trying to put a curse on us! All this chanting about "Your crank sensor is going to fail" is bringing in bad Karma! ;) ;D

My crank sensor is fine ;)

Mine went last yr when I was in scotland, just done 1500k touring in higlands, and it was lucky I happenned to be in dundee when it decided to go, cost 150 bucks to get fixed. >:(

Mine was fine until I came over to your place when your car wasn't there. It was protecting mine somehow!
Of course I did finally take most of my tools and the big box of parts out of the trunk last night. That was probably protecting it too. ::)

Mee thinks someone maybe a wee bit upset? ;D ;D

Oh, he wants to hear the rest of the story does he? This is beyond a coincidence, this is personal! If I ever meet my guardian angel there will be words! Words I say!!!
Earlier this morning;
I go out to the car and it won't unlock. The LED isn't blinking on the remote and the range has been 4' lately so I realise that the battery is completely dead. Of course the door cylinder doesn't work, probably from never being used. So I go back in the house and get the other key. Everything's happy, go over to Timbuk's to pick up some stuff.
I joke to Timbuk about how my car wouldn't start, actually wouldn't unlock, b/c his is dead.
I say how it was a lucky break that the remote died at home where I had a spare.
He has my torx sockets b/c working on his car. I tell him to keep them, I don't need them.
We talk about how well maintained 1,500 quid miggys are way more reliable than 500 quid beaters.
I go to leave and the car won't start . . .
Yes, I was tempting fate, and fate showed up and smacked my @$$!!! ;) ;D

Since breaking down in France last year, I always carried one. Until a few weeks ago, when I gave it to someone, and ain't replaced it yet :-[

Actually it is a good idea, cos when it goes it goes, Great for you guys, but I am no mechanic by any means, so when mine wnet I was pretty much stuffed. i actually phoned the VX dealers in london, when it wnet in Dundee, cos they know my car, and said crank/rpm sensor, what did AA say can't find any fault, but when VX in Dundee tech2'D it, was the sensor, so I e-mailed AA and informed them. :y

I think I'm going to Ebay my daughters Bratz collection, Playstation game ect and put the money towards a crank sensor

Dont worry about it Martin, DBW's (well my 2.2 can) still starts with crank sensor disconnected, struggles a bit and puts it in limp home mode, but at least doesnt leave you stranded :y
