Default Cam sensor woes

Hello everyone,
I am having a frustrating time with the Raptor. I believe the Cam sensor has given up the ghost. She starts from cold perfectly, every time.
When hot, she starts about 50% of the time (if I'm lucky!)
I sent for a replacement sensor, reasoning that I could remove the old one, plug in the new one and away we go.
Only I can't because they changed the design and the cable on the old one doesn't fit the new sensor
I have looked, and it doesn't seem to be possible to buy the cable separately.
Any help gratefully received as always.
Cheerio

So my question is, does anyone sell the cable separately?

Were there not two kinds of crank sensor, one with an extension lead or have I mixed that up with the cam sensor? Have they sent the correct part, maybe worth a look on Rimmers page

I had the same problem, when I changed mine and had to get a link lead.

The Part no is YSB002450

It is underneath Item 7 here https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001630
as not illustrated, as the line drawing shows the earlier type with the integral lead.

Thank you for the very useful pointer. I just jumped onto eBay and there was a lead, I have bought it!
Now for the fun of removing the old one...

Yes you are correct Mark.
The earlier type had the integrated lead and the later type didn't.

The early type was NLA when I looked, but looks a much better quality item, IMHO.



These are the two types.



My link lead for the later type was made in place well known for engine components.

Changing the Cam sensor hasn't worked (so far). Could anyone advise me please? If I put a washer between the sensor and the socket might it work?

Please, please help!


Does this explanation from mike noc give any help..

Our OP has a nice refined KV6 though, not a stone crusher under the bonnet.

If the old one will start the car and the new one doesn't then, assuming you have the correct part number, it sounds like you have bought a faulty part.
