Hi All,
My EF Died and just wont start now and I need some advice. I was driving along yesterday and it started to miss when going up a hill and backfired on gas under load. I just replaced the Spark Plugs. I thought i might check the leads (which are failry new when i got home so i did and they were all OK. The next morning, crank it over and it wont start. I turned it over and check for spark and nothing. So then i bridged out the diagnostic connector and it reckons that all is hunky dory. Im thinking Cranks angle sensor / cam sensor / or coil pack can u give me any advice i thinking more toward the coil pack cause the KOEO test does not pick anything else up - do i have to replacye all coils and the coil module if it is?? thoughts and sugggestions much appreciated thanks.

just let it go man... its goone...

BUMP. id help u if i knew how but i dont no s**t about the coils etc. just wait a while and sum1 will read this thread and help u out. cheers

Fixed IT!
It was actually the crank angle sensor plug pins corroded badly. I cleaned then up and presto! no problesm. Watch when you take this plug off though (the one just above the harmonic balancer on the EF 6) its easy to break. I broke mine, but will have to get a new one anyway cause cleaning it up is just a temp fix. Think it might be a big job to replace the connector though - have to take the belt tensioner off. Its funny it did not show up on the KOEO test, but looking at the fault codes I did not find one for the actual Crank Angle Sensor - so maybe the diagnostic does not check this..it should though. Any Ideas???

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaa

did you end up fixing the problem ? what was it ? mines done the same thing..

sounds very similiar to what recently happened to my ef, no spark and yeah it was the crank angle sensor, cost me $300 labour i might add!

You EF boys and your fancy CA sensors and coilpacks...
If it was an ED or EL, all you'd need was a new dizzy cap

coils are gay

agreed.. im on the verge of selling mine!
