And if I knew what the crankshaft sensor looked like I probably have that too knocking about...

Well Chris, I have no idea.
I'm sure one of the resident geniuses will post a picture though after the cam belt party this weekend :)

Just for clarification  ;D

Can anyone post photos of a crank sensor and cam sensor for a 95 3l elite?

Cheers!

Still hoping for a photo if possible :)

Also, when I started her up this morning, there was a whining noise for a minute or two. Sounds like a pump starting up and then turning off - Is that usual?

Cam sensor failure on a V6!

The advice to change both extends ot a 4 pot and no further.

You NEED to read the fault codes and not change items willy nilly as all you will do is add more unknows.

Thre are a number of sensors which kick in the rev limit

Well it's with my garage guy at the moment, so he can read the codes and give me the news.  ::)

Hopefully it won't be too bad, else I'll have to get rid and then find a new car for April.

If it's not the cam sensor then, I'll have a spare when Chris sends it on. Doh!  :-?

OK....  

So the garage have tested the cam sensor and the crank sensor on the car, and have found that they're supplying the right readings etc.

They had another crank sensor lying around, tested that and it was kaput.

So it seems the cam & crank sensors are both ok - What would be next in line to be checked ?   :-?

Live readings are required and full fault code read.

Knock sensors kick in the rpm limit, any sign of damage to the cables on them?
