car shuts off, codes for crank and cam sensor
car shuts off, codes for crank and cam sensor
just got the car back up and running. put around 10 miles on it and now im having a problem with the car shutting off. its throwing codes for crank and cam sensor. if i clear the codes the car will start and run fine for about 45 seconds then it happens again. any reason these can both be going off at the same time? i can see if the engine was not timed right but it ran fine so far and still starts and runs fine until it eventually starts to bog down then finally stall. i took a look around and seems like all the grounds are hooked up. anything else i should look at? does it sound like a ground issue? it just does not sound right to me for both sensors to die at the same time. anyone else think so? thanks
Any time I've had my car die for non-obvious reasons those two codes would pop up, simply because they'd fall out of sync as the engine stumbled. Could be one of them is bad, or it could be something else entirely causing it to die and the codes are an unrelated symptom.
i really hate to just throw parts at it but i just tried a new cam sensor and thats not it. i will change the crank sensor this weekend. lets say neither one of those are bad. what else could it be? its not loosing compression so it has to be fuel or spark. i do notice the rmps on the tach bounce a little but the engine seems to stay at the same speed. the wideband is also dipping down into the 12 right before it stalls. the bouning tach gives me hope it might just be the crank sensor but where do i look if its not? thanks
