Title: Car cutting out
Post by: Andy1766 on 17 May 2011, 17:35:13

Hi I have a 3.0 elite (96).
When the car is hot and I press the accelerator it cuts out, it will then turn over but not start ( sounds like no fuel). Also the orange light on dash comes on,

Can anyone help please? :-/

Paperclip it and you`ll get a 19 (crank sensor)

About £40-50 to buy from VX (use genuine only). Click on the red link in my 1st post for the fault code and click this one for replacing sensor

Thanks will have a look, I guess that will stop the engine light from coming on as well?

Rectify the fault and all will be well. A word to the wise, if you get a code 19 change it as soon as otherwise it will give up for good and sods law dictates you will be somewhere in the back of beyond late at night
