meXEco Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Went to get my 2nd vaccine today, and getting back in the car it took 10-15 secs of turning over to fire and start. Was a little hesitant on the throttle at first but then seemed fine. Drove 5 mins to get some shopping, then it took another 2 attempts of 10-15 secs to fire again, and again a bit fluffy under throttle. Drove out the car park and rev counter died, engine light and warning triangle light came on and felt a little unresponsive under throttle. Managed to drive the 4 miles home. Any rough ideas what would cause this-seemed weird the rev counter stopped working i'm thinking a sensor of some sort maybe? -2011 petrol KA.

DT36 Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) These are usually my first port of call on a more modern engine with various sensors etc. I use this to read and erase fault codes. Edited June 19, 2021 by dt36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meXEco Posted July 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Code reader said PO355 - possibly crank position sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT36 Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Could be sensor or plug. Probably a pain to get at, so rather than just cleaning the plug, go for new sensor too. Alternatively, clear the fault and part ex it 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meXEco Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Ordered new sensor-went to fit and wrong type-only 2 pin and wrong size connector. Re ordered the right one listed as RPM/Crankshaft sensor with 3 pins and bingo. Easy to get at also which was nice.
