I have a 2001 Galant with a 2.4L Sohc, I bought the car from a mechanic who put a new timing belt on, it had 218000. At 260000 (current milliage) The balance shaft belt broke and caused the timing belt to jump time. I bought the (KIT) from rock auto that had both belts and 3 pullys, I also bought a new timing belt tensioner adjustment (the hydrolic shock that puts pressure on the tensioner pully) and installed it all.
It took me about 3 weeks to order the parts get time to put them on and order the tensioner when I relized mine wasnt good. However when I got it all back together the car cranked up and ran like a champ. I drove it a mile or so parked in the driveway satisfied with the work I had done.
I was setting the presets on the radio with the car idleing and it went dead. However it cranked back up. Then went dead and wouldnt start.
Then next day after getting an OBD2 I got in the car to check it and decided to try and crank it and it cranked right up. So I drove it about 2 miles and sat in the drive way with the car at idle and sure enough after about 2 minutes of idleing it went dead, cranked up, went dead, and wouldnt crank.
An hour later I cranked the car and let it idle till it decided to go dead again and wouldnt crank. It seems like when the engine gets completly warmed up it goes dead. There is only one code.
PO335 Crankshaft Position Sensor A ciruit malfunction
1. What sensor is this??? The one on the front of the engine by the crankshaft?
2. If it was out of time would it be a different code instead of (malfunction)??
What would you suggest? Simply replacing the sensor and going from there, or has sombody had similar problems and know of somthing else that may be an issue?????? This ad is not displayed to registered members.
