Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP)
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is part of the car engine system. We have 5 associated problem symptoms connected to it.
Engine doesn't start up and/or cuts out when running
The engine doesn't start up very easily and will often not start at all. When it is running it can cut out completely without warning.
Check Engine warning light showing on dashboard
The dashboard warning light showing on this page (or one very similar, sometimes a slightly different shape or colour) has appeared on the dashboard and doesn't go off when the car is running.
Fuel consumption seems above normal range
The fuel gauge seems to be going down quicker than usual, the car is using more fuel when driving in the same way as before.
Engine is misfiring
The engine sounds like it's not running correctly, the engine sounds rough as if it's not running in time.
Engine is rough at idle speed
At idle speed the engine sounds like it's about to stall, it improves when the accelerator is pressed down but when idling in traffic it sounds like it's struggling to run properly.
