little help please?

[mag 87]

hey all, im a little new around here. i got a vt s2 wagon.. i changed my crank angle sensor about two weeks ago cause my old died and the car wouldnt fire, now ive put the new one in, the car will start but runs like a complete bag when under load and continues to stall and so on, im wondering could this be the cas still or am i looking somewhere else for my problem. my harmonic balencer not on proper maybe?? any help would be fantastic.

Have you checked the fault codes?

yeah i keep coming up with 46 i think it was, the code for my cas?? im thinkin i might not have my balancer on proper?

46 is No reference signal while cranking, according to a quick search on here.

If it's starting ok (especially while hot), I'd imagine the CAS is ok. If the belt is lined up straight on all the pulleys and the balancer isn't moving while running it's probably on right.

Can try resetting the codes and driving it around. Then check the codes again and see what it throws up.

Could be a number of things that can cause what you've described.

ok what about if i try disconnecting the battery, will that help to reset the codes aswell?? im just about to have a play around so ill let you no how i go but cheers .

dont know if the vt run individual coil packs but sounds like a problem with mates vz, stalled it up, ie put it under load and it misfired, one of the coil packs failed.

Yeah disconnect the battery to reset the codes.

Possible causes include, coil pack, dfi module, dodgy leads, amongst other things.
