Today sat at the lights the car does a slight shudder and stalls. Restart all fine for the rest of the day. On plugging inti Icarsoft it says;- Position Sensor For Crankshaft has a malfunction. The signal not present.

Ok is this a sensor change or something else? Also where do I find this sensor?

Position Sensor For Crankshaft has a malfunction.

Not the same care; mine is an ancient 1991 car but it has always had an error reported like yours. The reason is that the engine isn't running so the sensor can't send a signal.

So, this MIGHT be a red herring.

Just a thought, many will know more than I so we await the brainy boys.

Just realised that I had a sensor fault May last year. (Old age. I really don't remember that). So a new one I think.

Went out in the car today and it may be my imagination, but it does seem have a steadier tick over and a smother acceleration, but as I said maybe just my imagination.
