Bump!

I'd really like to know the best way to remove the CKP/CPS sensor. Since it looks like I might have to take apart both my 190s at once and swap the sensors it will be a right pain, so would appreciate any info regarding this.

Remember that my flywheel/clutch was removed and replaced so the problem could be something to do with them. Don't want to buy new parts if they're not the problem!

Just found out the cost of the items I'm looking at - a CKP sensor is £100 (can live with that), the ignition computer control box £906

That's ~33% the value of the car. .

I notice one of the pins from the ignition computer outputs to the diagnostic plug (round one). How do i diagnose using this?

please help

True unless it's a clocked digital system, in which case a brief peak can go unnoticed. Nice login name by the way!


thanks
