My car is running like complete **** @ the moment AFRs are all over the place everytime I come to a stop it stalls out and when I go to crank it back up, it starts as if it's flooded.

When I finally get it running the engine sounds like it is constantly knocking as it revolves, vey disturbing. I checked the codes and there were 2. P0335(Crank sensor malfunction) and one for "Low Idle".

I did the pump brake reset and cobb AP reset several times and still no luck.

My car is turbocharged by the way. Has my crank position sensor really failed or has my engine bit the dust?

Please Help!

sounds like blown apex seals but that doesn't explain the crank sensor code

any updates on this?

maybe it's just a bad crank sensor and the motor is fine

very high % that the motor is bad.

Oh it's blown, pulled the plugs the other day and Voila! Coolant Fluid!






140+Intake Temps + Overspooling + Low Oil pressure + My Dumbass = Blown Engine

Also the engine already had 62k on it & some other minor issues, so all the factors were there, just a matter of time.

Moving on though, I have already found a donor engine with only 10k!!! out of 2005 6 port shinka that was rear ended for $1800. Talk about a Steal.

I'm doing it right this time around now. Before the engine goes in upgrading the water pump, coating & wrapping hot side piping, powder cating the coldside, and the list goes on. Stay Tuned!!!

Oy. So, not necessarily "blown", but overheated and coolant seal gone.
Different result, same outcome.
