Rover bods....

Recommended Posts

Little info required, please.

 

My neighbour has a REALLY old 214 which has an issue much like a crank sensor. Sometimes not starting, sometimes just dying at junctions.

 

However the fault kicked up by the computer is 'Temp Sensor' (However, unplugging the crank sensor completely doesn't kick up a fault, either) The car is so old, that Hubby's OLD diag kit plays tricks while plugged into it :facepalm:

 

Anyway, this doesn't feel right to me, as the temp sensor controls fuelling, but fuel would still get through, surely?

 

Anyone any ideas?

 

Many thanks in advance

The old 214 is a thirsty beast at best, but the symptoms of the crank sensor are caused by 2 other things on them aswell, as the kit says, air temp sensor (or as we know it MAF) or a blocked cat.

Thanks Smaky, was a dodgy spark in the end :facepalm: it was messing up the diagnostic readings. All sorted now

My issues were not from Rovertech. They have been a good bunch on there for the most part tbh.

 

I can name and shame the shit fora, but I'd rather not. RT caused me no woes at all! :)
