Thomas Proctor T Hi all, just looking for some help, i've bought a golf mk4 1.4 and it wont start, prior to it not starting the car was in what seemed to be limp mode, struggled to reach 60mph at times, then it just wouldn't start all of a sudden, it's coming up with the engine speed sensor code when i've read it for codes, i've bought a crankshaft sensor after reading up online about the problem, i can't find where it goes, can somebody please help me asap? also the car isn't sparking, is that because of this ? thanks in advance! #1 · Dec 11, 2014 Hi all, just looking for some help, i've bought a golf mk4 1.4 and it wont start, prior to it not starting the car was in what seemed to be limp mode, struggled to reach 60mph at times, then it just wouldn't start all of a sudden, it's coming up with the engine speed sensor code when i've read it for codes, i've bought a crankshaft sensor after reading up online about the problem, i can't find where it goes, can somebody please help me asap? also the car isn't sparking, is that because of this ? thanks in advance! Sort by Oldest first Oldest first Newest first Most reactions #2 · Dec 11, 2014 Welcome to the forum Thomas. You need to post the error codes found? Can I suggest that you add your car spec to your signature as it will save users asking every time, if you know the engine code that will also be great? Oh you can't do this of a phone. http://www.volkswagenforum.co.uk/f26/adding-your-car-spec-5119.html Options Sticker and Engine Codes #3 · Dec 11, 2014 P0322 was the error code that i got, i'm not sure about the engine code, i will check later on today and add to my sig, any help would be great #4 · Dec 11, 2014 VAG Error Code: 16706/000802 EOBD II Error Code: P0322 Fault Location: Engine Speed (RPM) Sensor [G28] - No Signal - Intermittent Possible Cause: Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)(K83) active. Engine shuts off. Engine doesn't start. Speedometer inoperative. Glow Plug Indicator Lamp (K29) flashes. Wiring/Connector(s). Engine Speed (RPM) Sensor [G28] loose. Engine Speed (RPM) Sensor [G28] faulty. Possible Solutions: Check/Replace all faulty Wiring/Connector(s). Check Engine Speed Sensor [G28]. Read Measuring Value Blocks (MVB). Special Notes: The Engine Speed Sensor [G28] is also used as a reference sensor for the crankshaft position. When is the code detected?: The P0322 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects no signal. Description: Ignition failure sensor is used to check whether the spark ignition is occurred correctly or not and also used to tachometer drive. The sensor monitors the voltage difference between a resistance which is on the battery circuit for ignition coil. When the ignition coil works properly, the electric current through the resistance is detected as voltage drop. This is confirmed for every ignition event with the crankshaft sensor and the camshaft sensor. If Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a malfunction, no ignition is possible, so the engine would not start. If there is no ignition signal for a predetermined cycle for one or two ignition coils, an ignition coil circuit failure exists. As taken from my EOBD II Fault Codes Software #5 · Dec 11, 2014 jesus, i couldn't log on with facebook or link an account.. anyways, thanks for the help. now can anyone help me with the location of the crankshaft sensor? i can't find it at all #6 · Dec 11, 2014 Well its like dragging blood from a stone for your car spec, just Google them. #7 · Dec 12, 2014 sorry for the delay, i've took a picture of the label with car spec beside the spare wheel, i'll upload it now, i changed the ignition coil distributor and it's still not sparking, just need to try changing the crankshaft sensor if you can help me find it 0 Reply #8 · Dec 12, 2014
