KV6 2.0 stopped suddenly - advice needed
Hi all. Asking for a friend of mine:
Car stopped suddenly while driving. Towed to garage. Engine starts and run fine at garage. Mechanic find nothing wrong but suspect fuel pump or crankshaft sensor may be on its way out. Its a -00 2.0 KV6 Petrol. I have heard that the Crankshaft position sensor may have issues on this engine. Anyone have some advice on this issue? The owner are going on holiday this Sunday and needs his car :/ Thanks in advance |

It wont be the Cam sensor - a failed/failing cam sensor can only cause non starts for once your car is in motion the cam sensor has nothing do - however a failing crank sensor can cause cut outs as well as non starts.
If she fails to start again /cut out again - turn her over and if the rev counter remains motionless that points to a goosed crank sensor - they classically fail under heat and once cooled down a failing sensor will work again. Never heard of a particular issue with the crank sensor on the KV 6 - they will eventually fail on all cars

Fuel filter syndrome is possible if the car has the later type of filter. Check this and fit the clip if necessary in advance of the holiday. It's unlikely to be the fuel pump. Simon

This is the early type so I don't suspect the filter issue. We have ordered both crank and camshaft sensor, so hope this resolves it. Probably the crank sensor, but take both in the same operation Thinking this is the best bet for now |

some of the camshaft sensors require a "link" harness as they are different to the originals. just to bear this in mind if its not been changed before ... unless you have managed to get hold of an original one type design....

I spotted that on Rimmers website, so the extra wire harness is also on order

Do the petrol engines have a cam sensor.
I thought they used the --lost spark---system.--- |

Cam sensor is just to the right of the front bank of cylinders on the top.
