im confused... lol

Was the replacement sensor genuine GM?

[omega2012]

doesnt state it on the invoice i have for it, i have contacted the company who supplied the sensor and they have confirmed the invoice i have is a real one.

should it really matter its only been one year... a home made one could last longer than that haha!

So they sent you a real invoice? 

Yes, it matters. Pattern sensors have been known fail within weeks 

[omega2012]

ok so if it is the crankshaft sensor, you think this would explain why it cuts out when the engine managment light comes on? but the runs fine with it on....

i think it would explain the poor starting when the engine managment light is on....

[tunnie]

Cutting out + that code suggests crank sensor.

Will also explain why it won't start for ages, then blast into life.

2.0, actually from memory will run with a crank sensor disconnected. Is 335 your only code?

[omega2012]

its the only code coming back with engine off... havent tried with engine on.. should i try?

where is the crankshaft sensor on this engine? il try and dis connect see what happens..

UPDATE - just took camshaft sensor off took her for a spin... at first drove sweet as a nut ... engine mangement light was on from the start of my trip... got about 5-7miles and he just died... no splutter or anything like that just died... pulled over plugged sensor back in and she started up like normal (rough)

any ideas?

[fiend61]

camshaft sensor

not cam sensor crank sensor that is what code p0335 is pointing at 

[martin42]

omega2012 im also in kettering if your stuck at anypoint   

[fiend61]

p0340 is camshaft sensor if you had this code aswell as the p0335 i would suggest changing cam sensor ignoring the cranksensor unless it re-occured but seeing as you only have code p0335 it is deffo the crank sensor 

[fiend61]

Actually ignore me I was thinking of code 31

i will tunnie

2.0, actually from memory will run with a crank sensor disconnected

umm how does that work then     doesnt crank sensor supply the signal for spark and fuel pump    so therefore without crank sensor connected how would it start (baffled)
but something i dont know so asking
