Rev gauge flickering.

[novanova636]

Hi all. Wondering if you could help me. It is a corsa b tho. Couldn't afford a nova second time around.

It's got an XE in it. The rev gauge has always flickered a little bit. But lay couple of days has got worse. And now the car stutters under load around 1500 rpm.

Ive had this it was the crank sensor not seated right made the rev gauge go mad and affected the running.

So the bit of cable that goes into the crank sensor is a bit exposed. Looks like the end of the sensor might have split where the cable goes into it. When I unplugged it the engine died. So I guess it is still kinda working. Maybe breaking down under load?

Am I best of getting a new one from autovaux?

Yes get a new one, make sure it's not been rubbing anywhere so it won't happen again though.
