Greetings to Bryan and the list: Re below: I am not that familiar with the 2002 vintage cars.... I have a 1990 NA. The crank angle sensor in that car is actually located on the back of the inlet cam shaft. No matter.... I had a similar failure, except that my engine just quit intermittently rather than bucking. It turned out to be a bad crimp in the connector that attached to the sensor (presumably due to water intrusion and corrosion). The solution was to chop off the old connector and splice in another one from a salvage yard. Be careful to use good soldering technique and shrink tube is much preferable to tape. If that sounds too difficult, replace the engine wiring harness, preferably with a new one. You may cure a multitude of strange ills that way. Regards, Jim T.

As an update, I changed the Crank Position Sensor yesterday in response to the P0335 the dealer tech had discovered still in the computer. Drove it around VERY nervously for a day with no issues. Drove it once today for about 10mi along the highway and just before I arrive at my destination...yup, you guessed it...buck is back. I checked the car once I got home and, while there was no CEL, sure enough, I did get a P0335 on my OBDII reader. Didn't see any other codes and went ahead and cleared it (yes, I know that won't solve the problem). In addition, I got a very ominous sound from what I am praying to God is the AC compressor. I also noticed what I think is a slip of the AC belt in addition to a hum that the compressor makes that raises pitch with RPM. AC system needs service, I presume? I'm trying not to freak out here, folks, but this thing is driving me nuts! I don't know what to do besides take it back to the dealer (the same one who couldn't diagnose my P0300's on the last car...idiots kept it all day, gave it back, and charged me $100 for the privilege). I do have some kind of warranty that I got from the Florida dealer I bought the car from, but I trust them even less. Guess I should give them a call. Any other ideas? Anyone want a rare 2002 Laser Blue? -Bryan _______________________________________________ Miata mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.realbig.com/mailman/listinfo/miata _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
