Mileage: 100k miles
Location/Alitutude: Kitchener Ontario. Canada
Concern: cranks but doesn’t start no spark
DTC's: pcm: P0335, IC: U2023, ABS: U2023
Modifications: HKS intake, Cobb,downpipe, Cobb catback, Turbo, smart blow off valve,
ECU/Tuning Software: Cobb Accessport
Tuner: unknown
Is the concern intermittent? No
Can you duplicate the concern? Yes
Recent Repairs: replaced crankshaft position sensor twice.
I bought this car two years ago. It has been sitting ever since it broke down on the side of the highway.
Did a strong pull on the way to my friends house, which is a few hours away. About an hour after I did the pull the car just turned off.
I got the P0335 crankshaft position sensor “a”circuit malfunction, So I replaced the crankshaft position sensor with an aftermarket one. I then took it to a dealership where they told me I needed to use an OEM one and make sure the motor is at top dead center. Still didn’t work.
My friend recommended me to buy a new PCM from a website which was supposed to be programmed. When I received it in the mail, I tried it and got a key immobilization code. Would it be worth sending it back to the company and getting them to reprogram it? Or is there a better solution to try before before I do that?
Getting pretty upset as I don’t have much money to spare and don’t use this car. The couple mechanics, I took it to do not even want to look at it. Hopefully somebody from this form could help point me in the right direction thank you so much.
