Thread: Td5 odd problem

Fuel pump? Maybe has a bit of the sludge in it.

The best woulod be to see the logged fault code, the symptom corroborated by the fact that the MIL came on makes the crank sensor the first suspect though, for fue supply issues there will not be any fault code logged

I'd go with crank position sensor. Reasonably common.
No signal, no go.

Sent from my HTC_0P6B using AULRO mobile app

i had read a few other threads and some people had similar problems that i am having but not quite the same making me think it was something else.

the threads i have read say it might not be the sensor but the wiring for the sensor that could be causing the problem, bad earth...?

i also pulled my red ECU plug off today and it was full of oil, i will replace the injector harness aswell and hopefully both together will solve my problem

AAAhaa, the oil in the red plug can cause that problem cos the input from the CKP sensor is in there and oil can act as insulator, also it causes injector open circuit fault codes so first of all replace the injector loom cos that might cure your problem, keep cleaning the red plug after that once a week after all the oil leaves the harness, if after that it still makes tricks work on the crank sensor signal(wiring or sensor itself)

Ahhh missed the part about the check engine light.

okay ill try the injector harness first then if i still have the problem ill change the crank angle sensor. i posted a video of the same problem im having on the aulro facebook, and someone mentioned it might be a bad alternator or battery causing the car to almost stall while its idling.
