Car doen't start, crankshaft position problem, help please
Hello guys,
I really need your help, i have currently a situation that made me frustrated and it would mean the world if you could help me.
It started about 8 months ago, a morning i wanted to go to work, i started the car and it did crank but not starting. I did crank it several times and it did start at the end.
Lately i did had this issue more often, no check engine light nothing. The mechanic wanted to check the sensors , the car was running so that he could check what's wrong. As soon as he touched the crankshaft sensor the car stalled. He did take it off , and we found that the sensor was tinkered, you can see it in the picture, where the 10 mm bolt goes , it is misplaced , it should be in the center. I did buy new sensors. But when i put them, the car started for 3 seconds and stalled. I did try to start it again , it starts for 1 sec and stalls. When i checked the old sensor, the position it was is was not the correct one, the angle is different from the original one, but it still worked. When i put the new one as if the ecu was set on the wrong position as if it was right. I wanted to ask you, if there is by anychance a way to reprogramm the new ckp in the correct position? Or what can i do? Can you help me i really need some advices i am begining to lose my mind :/
