Me again,
Right, after my coolant dump on a spirited drive I fixed the leak and it seems to be running ok, except when I blip the throttle after leaving it to idle for a little bit, then I get what I can only assume is a misfire :'(
Has my HG gone?
-
If you blip it from idle it does make like a hiccup should we say, don't normally just pick up straight away.
Mine don't anyway
-
more than usual, almost stalls and then picks up as normal. Doesnt happen all the time.

Takes alot for a HG to go i believe

I know, but I am wondering what could cause this hesitation....
-
Any codes?
-
wouldn't the system blow up pressure and blow pipes off before fans cut?

Good point, just checked. 19 .. and its recent.

Crank sensor it is, then....
Probably as a result of the cable being distrurbed, and already brittle, hence finishing it off, when the cooler job was done....

Wouldnt that stop me from starting the car though? If thats all I am a very happy chappy.

It doesn't always just result in starting problems - sometimes stalling, cutting out, hesitation..... and general poor running, if the ECU doesn't know where the crank is at.. :y

Could get the garage to do a sniffer test when you take it for MOT. :y

Whrn my crank sensor was defective, it would start up ok and then cut later.

Will this affect emissions at all?
The local stealers are proving useless yet again and now closed >:(

Change over from another V6 you have there if its not stuck behind oil cooler pipes :y

Worth a mention. When my head gasket went it was an external leak on the left hand bank, at the rear.
As a result both were removed and needed welding then skimming, the right hand one was showing signs of corrosion meriting the repair to that one as well.
