Cranky or Cammy?
« on: 24 February 2009, 14:24:19 »
Debs` `99 2.5 V6 'Pup-Mobile' was (most-unusually) reluctant to start this morning; it seemed to be "fighting the starter" and required frantic efforts to catch the 'firing' with my throttle foot....a symptom I know-well, as I had the same problem in my previous Miggy (a 2 Ltr. 16v) when the cam sensor failed.

I haven`t had time to break out the paperclip yet, but I`m assuming that when I do, it`s going to reveal a crank or cam sensor failure.....I am wondering if it is better to change them-both at once?

......and (approx.) how much would the two sensors cost, bought on a trade-club [size=9](that is; if I can persuade a kindly, 'nearby' OOF`er to let me use their T.C card.)[/size] ::)

Your welcome to my card, can either buy and post, or can meet up.
Can also use my diag tool if you want a play  ;)

I wouldnt bother replacing sensors which aren't reporting a fault, could just be introducing more unknowns.

 :y Thanks so much for the kind offer Jimbob, that`d be so much appreciated; I`ll have a bit more time tomorrow so will break-out the 'paperclip' to see what`s what; then take it from there.....we`re long overdue a meet-up for a cup o`tea aren`t we? ;)

If it's a square plugged, metal bodied crank sensor (the more expensive one) I have one I purchased in error you can have for £55 :y :y :y

As MDTM says, V6 cam sensors never fail.

Not convinced its crank sensor either, though I'm sure the paperclip will prove me wrong ;D

Debs yours is likely to be oval plug, plastic end near oil filter - on TC I paid £42.80 + VAT recently for mine.  Hope that helps - part nş is 90492061
