Hi guys im having problems with my cavi xe after finnally gettin her started and running ok i drove her round the block and by the time i got back it had dropped onto 3 cylinders basically and was smoking alot!
My gaffer reckons that due to excessive cranking the fuel has gone past the rings and into the sump, so i changed the oil and cleaned the plugs, now she will start but turns over very very slow and makes some hideous noise sometimes and wont idle, now ive checked the timing all fine got a spark and fuel etc, the guy at the griffin centre said crank sensor as its turning over slow? so i changed it (after already changing it for an old unit and no difference) now when the cps was unpluged the engine turned over fine with no noises?? ive done a faultcode test but can never get the grip of them and i think its coming up with fault 19 cps sensor? Its smoking alot and theres smoke coming up from the breather next to the sfi box on initial start up? would this be caused by a dodgy cps sensor? anyone have any ideas??
