big j Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 At the risk of posting in the wrong section again..... This is probably a silly question, But does anybody round about Lanark area have any cam sensors for a classic lying about that I could borrow / buy. Cars been running like a dog, Tried all the usual checks, No stored error codes, Given it a good service with oil flush treatment, compression test, replaced 2 damaged coil packs etc etc. It seems to be missing on all cylinders randomly! Spoken to a few guys from the rally scene & they suggested the cam sensors. Just a bit expensive at £150 a pop to "try" It was doing it only when hot & Baz suggested head gasket (or worse) But I have disconnected the coil packs one at a time when running and can not pin it down to any one cylinder or even side, totally random & very annoying.

John When mine needed a cam sensor it did throw up a code so thats a bit strange! Hope you get it sorted Link to comment

John John You should try to get a combustion gas leak test done to be sure. just to rule out any head gasket problem. Link to comment
Badgerboy Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 John Send me a PM with your mobile number and I'll give you some contact details for a guy I have used in the past who rebuilds engines, Scoobys being his speciality. Hes usually spot on when it comes to problem finding Other option, I'll run my classic up to yours and we can mess around with various parts until we find the problem! Andy Link to comment
