Midnight21 Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Hi everyone can the crankshaft position sensor be cleaned? I reset the ecu as it was showing up code 11.... (which I replaced about a year ago) and its showing the same code again now (no check engine light!) Is that normal to only last around that length of time?
terzo neil Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 could it be an old code, did you clear the ecu last time

trackhound Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 You can't clean the sensor as it operates magnetically and is hermetically sealed. They can be fickle things and be faulty without throwing a code and equally be ok and throw a code. I had a cam sensor on my car keep throwing a code when I took it on the track but from the logs there was nothing wrong with it. How is the car driving?

Car is a bit sluggish at the moment...but its the starting issues which are a pain!!! Starts 1st time from cold but if I stop for fuel etc ...wont start for about 10 minutes!

You are welcome to swap the one from my car to see it it makes a difference. I just live about 5 mins south of gorebridge on the A7. Cheers Alistair

trackhound Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Cool thanks ...I'm not far from Gorebridge but on the A68 side... is it easy to remove lol No worries - I'm free this week in the evenings apart from Thurs so drop me a pm when suits

Starts 1st time from cold but if I stop for fuel etc ...wont start for about 10 minutes! More likely cam sensor when hot starting issues. Just as easy to swap over.

Steve - could be but ECU appears to be reporting a crank sensor issue according to midnight. Anyway should you not be working on a certain white car at the moment? BTW - check your email as I have sent you a road dyno plot of the mild mannered shopping car

stevie.w Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Had a spy at your graph looks good , can't remember when it makes 1 bar of boost and full boost? Last 2 nites finished at 8pm, way to many hours for a weekend!
trackhound Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Had a spy at your graph looks good , can't remember when it makes 1 bar of boost and full boost? 1 bar at c. 2800rpm and 1.8 bar at c. 3300pm (reverse mani has made a big difference to spool up so thanks again for the tip)
