I did locate the PTCM but unfortunately couldn't identify the plug terminals C3, 13 & 26. I followed the wires back from the crank position sensor to where they entered the loom then followed that piece of loom back to the PCM. I counted 9 cores on the diagram and looked for a connector with 9 cores but none found. 10 cores, 7 cores and another with 20ish cores but nothing like that going in the direction of the crank sensor.
Not being familiar with the fuel pump mentioned in earlier thread, there is a quiet fan like noise when the ignition is switched on. I'm assuming that's the fuel pump running.
I'm at a real loss here but don't want to hand it to a dealer for them to add double '00's' or even triple zero $$$ to something I may be able to do myself if I can only identify what the problem is! Very frustrating.
Back to the purchase of a code scanner, does anyone think this might be able to help me identify the cause of this or will it just give me a load of information I can't use or dont need?
Again, appreciate everyone's assistance on this. Thanks,
I hate to state the obvious but the Service Manual tells you how to check the CPS and the circuitry in great detail.
The Manual tells you how to check most of the items that are electrical engine wise.
Take out the CPS, clean the terminals on the loom socket and check for a reasonably tight fit to the CPS, I mean tight fit of the metallic contacts to one another, slightly bend them if you have to.
