Was driving the car the other night and it was running just fine, for a mile or two and just cut out as if someone turned the key off. Will not restart. Cranks, sounds funny - almost as if it's trying to light the cans in the wrong order. Backfired once.
Checked the cam sensor - it appears visually fine, is tight and hasn't moved. During cranking, it turns as excpected - so I don't think it moved. I started here as I was thinking I lost the timing chain.
Coils are good and the module is maybe 3 seasons old. Crank sensor appears okay but its quite dirty with oil, etc...
I'm leaning here - any input would be great.
I am going to replace the crank sensor based on how it looks, any tips on installing and properly adjusting it?
Thanks in advance!
