Have I Solved My Problem ?

[MarcB]

Well last week i posted up a topic regarding poor starting / turn over of the trophy.
Its now happened atleast a dozen times so after changing the car battery, the battery's in the key fobs i was left with the TDC sensor.

Today while the rain stayed away i decided to have a look at teh TDC sensor and give it a clean to see if that would help and i must say that the car starts super now and i'm not having the problems in the topic above.

Problem solved.

Im guessing im better off buying a new sensor & new loom to replace this current one?

 

[Yanoo]

You have already cleaned its end, just clean its connector aswell, that's all. It will work fine. If later it won't start, buy a new battery.

If its not doing what it was doing before after you clean it up then i really wouldn't bother changing it!

Tried PMing you regarding the part but your inbox is full.

Went and looked the kit up and got part numbers and prices.

It's a hall sensor so will wear out/fail. I'd replace it with a new one IMO

sorry for sounding stupid but what is a hall sensor ?

 

[Dan@SJM]

A sensor that uses a magnetic pick up(in this case, the flywheel) and gives a voltage output.

I call this a crank sensor I do

Hall sensors wear out?

No, it isn't. It's a regular inductive sensor (gives a sine-like signal). A hall-sensor has 3 connecting wires (+,-, signal) and gives a square-wave output.
