Title: help anyone !!!
Post by: tigers_gonads on 17 October 2009, 19:58:07
as some of you will know, i have just fitted a 3 ltr v6 in my 2.5 estate.

engine went in ( eventualy)

fired it up this afternoon
ok  ( ish )  its running   very tappity
did not rev it !!
let it run sat on the ramp for 20 mins
warmed up ............ some noise from bottom and top ( tappity)
turned it off and started to bleed the clutch of air.
had some trouble getting the air out ( no pedel )
after 5 mins of pumping, lowered the ramp and decieded to fire it up again.
car refused to fire  >:(
put it on a snap on solus test box ............. came back code 31 ( crank sensor )
so ............. i removed a known good sensor off my old 2.5 v6 ..............
fitted it ................ still no spark  >:(
it turns over and sometimes it nearly fires but seems to be blowing back through the inlet  >:(

i can't take anymore of the sh*t
some of you will know my job / financial situation so some of you will know how desparate i am at the moment  :'(

can anybody give me some good news  :question

31 isn't crank sensor, you get 31 if the engine isn't running.

Is this the one you bought of Markie Mark? give him a ring mate and ask him, would not think he would sell you a duff engine..
Code 31 will come up if you have put on the code reader when the engine is not running. Crank sensor is Code 19

19 is crank sensor, 31 is no rpm signal (always get this when the engine is not running)
