find some one with the same ECU and try it to see if the ECU is at fault, also ask the guys on MIG Web they know every thing about the C20XE engines | |

What engine is it matey if its an early C16XE the fault might be with the ECU and i got a spare one you could try | |

quote: This isn't completely true! Yes the sensor located inside the dizzy is used to determine the position of #1 cylinder. However, you can still start and run an engine without a signal from this sensor. The ECU will run the engine in 'get you home' mode i.e. as the ignition timing retarded. Clarkie, the reason why i thougt it was break in a wire or something is because the 'high voltage' fault is recorded both with the sensor plugged in and left out. I think I have located the pins in the ECU socket that are for the Hall Effect Sensor and will test those tonight with a multimeter which will either confirm the problem or eliminate another element. Searched a couple of forums and i cant find anyone who's had the same problem at all :rolleyes: [Edited on 06-01-2004 by DP.] | |

Kerry you seem to know ya S**T i wasnt 100% what a hall effect sensor was till you said | |

The Hall Effect Sensor is used to indicate the position of #1 cylinder when the engine is first started and to determine the injection timing and sequence. | |

i think greasemonkey's on the right lines, the fault codes give you a clue. im not that clued up on vauxhalls, but wat does the hall effect sensor do? the sensor is probably o.k. doing its job and picking up that there's a fault sum where. e.g. if you picked up a fault code with a lamda sensor, reading the wrong imisions, you wouldn't change the sensor, you'd wack it on a imissions machine, so as kerry says, look into a rolling road as they can look at ignition etc. | |

Fair enough thats the key though to these problems, elimination, at lest ya getting close matey | |

i suggest u check out ure local rolling road centre and get a diagnostic done or ring an autoelectrician | |

well... the fault is high voltage.... exactly the same fault if you unplug the sensor... so its not even recognising that its been plugged in. and this is the 3rd dizzy so i think I have elimnated that. | |

Low voltage dosnt necessaraly (spelling) mean a dodgey connection, it might just mean its getting a crap signal cos something else is playing up, i had a low voltage across throttle position sensor fault, and that turned out to be a hole in the inlet trak, the fault codes are more of a guide to point you in the right direction than a definate solution | |

Hmmm.. 28 views and no suggestions from anyone. Guess im on my own with this one :) | |

think i have a dodgy connection going from the Hall Effect Sensor in my dizzy to the ECU as i have tried 3 dizzies and keep getting the following ECU fault code: |
