Intermittent loss of power + sounding rough

[Bux]

Hi guys,

Every now and then (every other day now as its been getting more often) my car seems to be really down on power, and won't pull very much at all, and also when the engine gets to higher revs (4.5k+) it starts to sound a bit rough.

When this happens I stop the car, turn the engine off and back on and then it's fine and back to normal again.

I'm wondering whether it might be a faulty sensor of some sort. Any ideas?

CLIP check to rule out the sensor array... I've seen a few with faulty camshaft position sensors cause this before as they're mega common on the K4M's aswell as the newer F4R's but its not an overly cheap sensor and it normally causes a "Beeeep" followed by "Injection Fault" to appear on the MFD so honestly its best have it confirmed before spending the £64 on one.

Im going to try and get any fault codes read tomorrow, hopefully that would shed some light on it ...

Mint but be aware that some equipment (Snap-On) tends to give out useless codes that mean nothing. Try and get DF codes if possible and we'll be in a much better position to help and advise you if you need us.

I'll bear that in mind, thanks very much

Had it plugged into a fault code reader toady and it flagged up a stored fault for Camshaft Sensor.

At least I know what it is that's wrong now...

Mega common mate and a 20min job to swap out... You will notice a difference until it goes again in 14months time.

where's the best place online to get one of these camshaft position sensors?

My mum's 2005 scenic has the same problem
