Engine cut out suddenly? ? ?
« on: 23 January 2008, 16:00:20 »
Just as I turned into my road the engine cut out...just like the ignition being turned off.

Engine spun over perfectly but not the slighest hint of firing. No smoke, no funny smells, no leaks. All levels fine and no oil in water or water in oil.

All fuses seem fine, petrol in tank. Called the AA but when they arrived the car started on the button, idled perfectly. Again no smoke, smells or leaks.

AA geezer said unable to trace any fault as no EML on.


Any ideas?

Well, just been for a drive, about 6 to 8 miles on dual carriageway and A-roads and all good.

No EML, no rattles, no smoke.

Can someone give me a reminder on paperclip test please.

The search function is not working. I think the code is 19 for the crank sensor.

Thats how a problem with my 'ex' xj6 started. It was the crank sensor and began intermittently. One day it would be fine the next morning no go.

As a cure I took out the sensor (if you have access to another vehicle for a day) cleaned the sensor and the multipin connector and put it on an old speaker magnet overnight. Put it back in and had no more problems - well not with the sensor that is lol

I'm now converted to Omegas though
