Replace: Crank Sensor




The Problem: Engine Cut while Idling

Had the crank sensor replaced today for a piece of mind. The frequency of the car having an engine cut during idle has been increasing. Went ahead with the change. Cost me RM400 inclusive of labour at Tan Chong. Ouch....

Right before they replaced the sensor, I made them pull a diagnostic first. As usual - no fault detected at all.

Here are the dates where the engine cut during idle happened.

23-06-2009 - Day
03-08-2009 - Day
16-08-2009 - Day
20-08-2009 - Night
25-08-2009 - Evening

Now I'm going to pray hard that the problem will go away.

-------------------
Update 12/12/12 - Didn't realize it has been so long. I have no problem since I replaced the crank sensor. Its been like 3 years since.
