Thnx Andyw08, I've spun the crank and the timing marks line up spot on, well as near as damn it :$ It did cut out whilst driving yes, I was about to overtake a slow mpv when it just went, no power, nothing, it hunted a little on tickover and then stopped. Sorry for the rather long post but as you might have guessed by now I am pretty miffed and about had it with these cars, I think I will design a flintstone car and start working on my leg strength I have evoscan on my laptop and using a tactrix cable hooked it up it connected and surprise surprise NO fault codes lol!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought these modern electronic marvels told you if something was wrong? Guess not :/Īll it gave me were a few readings as I turned the engine over on the starter, crank sensor = 0 - again I have no idea if this is good or bad? I had an Evo 4 many years ago and it decided that it had had enough one fine evening, when we were out visiting the Derbyshire countryside - balance belt snapped, took out the timing belt with it so that it smashed all the valves and damaged the pistons too, even a camshaft was bent :/ You would have thought that they could have designed something to instantly bleed down the adjusters to stop valve - piston contact but oh noo, not mitsi, they would sooner see a 20+ grand car destroy itself, bloody marvellous! The car suddenly stopped one evening as I was driving home from work and I got it towed home, it would idle but very roughly, some black smoke from the exhaust (not heavy, just slight) and then it would cut out, after further inspection I noticed a boost pipe had come off (below the turbo unit) my first thought was 'blockage, it's got to be a damn blockage!' lol - so I popped it back on and tightened the jubilees using a small wrench, they won't come off again! Since I did this the car refuses to fire now, I can smell fuel so I guess the pumps working? I've tested the IAV and it does what it is supposed to when the key is turned.
EVOM BAD CAM SENSOR HOW TO
The main problem I have is the engine, it turns over but doesn't fire, I'm pretty new to all this techo-madness and have no idea as to how to check the crankshaft sensor or camshaft sensor, I have replaced the coil packs, leads and plugs just in case but still no joy. Another thing is the AYC lights (all 3 are on constant now) and as it appears to be a major problem I guess it is a strip down and repair if possible or a reconditioned unit. The radiator fan came on sporadically and now when I insert the ignition key and turn it until the dash lights are illuminated the fan runs on it's own I'm guessing a borked fan module but not too sure.
