To be conclusive yes...your getting a 19 when running...take the very good advice, regardless of symptoms your crank sensor will fail completely soon and then your stuffed...change it while you can before you end up stranded somewhere...

If you are getting a warning from your crank sensor think yourself lucky when mine went a couple of months ago i got no warning at all and of all places to break it chose to do it in the main entrance to the headquarters of Devon & Cornwall Police.
Never before have I wanted to be somewhere else so badly.
So was I you i'd change it right now. Also Iv'e done the same as TB and keep a spare in the car just in case.

Firstly, if you have a V6 and have a 19, your crank sensor is fubar, and must be changed. No ifs/buts/it works, its knackered, end of.  It will let you down without warning.  Secondly, if you are a v6 owner, keep a spare crank sensor. When it fails, the car will cut out.  It may or may not start again (often will start after a while, but cut out again).


Right, 73, MAF.  Before condeming MAF, check for air leaks - if the engine is getting unmetered air, ecu detects this extra air and assumes low reading from MAF is a failed sensor.
