mellonman Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi all been having a misfire for a while once warm and on boost. Have changed coils injectors and igniter but still have the same fault. But today when starting g the car I got a 13 error code which is crank position sensor related . So my question is to anyone who can help is what are the symptoms of a failing crank sensor / timing star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 When mine went the car wouldn’t start. Slowly broke stoke down. I don’t remember ever having a misfire from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi Tom thanks for the reply , when you say slowly broke down what do you mean , it just would cut out more and more until one day just gave up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Mine was suffering for ages with this Gaz, and it turned out to be two tiny boost leaks from vacuum hoses. One from the wastegate hose, and one from around the fpr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
