I'm definitely not looking for the Neon! It was a cheap beater that did its job for a time (I said please don't laugh too hard)
Hi all! I have a gurl friend that's having problems with her "99 D2. It stalls every few minutes. It's weird, 'cause it will start back up after waiting for a few minutes. All lights and vehicle thingys work, including the A/C, windows, radio, etc., and not one warning light. Over half a tank of gas, it doesn't matter if its sitting parked and running or driving, it will just stall/shut off. But, everything else seems to work. What Gives???
Do you have any fault/trouble codes?
Sounds like the crankshaft position sensor on the LH side of the engine is crapping out.
Buy a Bosch #ERR-7354 or Echlin #CSS9280 (supposedly a Bosch brand in NAPA box).
The fuel pump won't run without a crank signal. Don't muddy the water. Monitoring the spark with a spark checker would be a good start.No one thinks this is fuel related?

Hats of to JUKE179r and all the gang ! It's the CRANK CASE POSITION SENSOR ! ! !
She took it down to 11 Street Auto Repair (A family owned 'Cisco all things Land Rover shop of POLISH heritage).
She got an ESTIMATE of one hour LABOR + PART for the CPS and Voila, she was once again driving happily down the road that same day ! ! !
Still thinking this may be fuel related.
Make sure they installed a BOSCH brand CPK and not a Duralast. I've been told sometimes a Bosch CPK is in a Duralast box.
I had 2 Duralasts that crapped out on me with in a 3 weeks time. One CPK failed right out the box and the other made my engine rev up while I had it in Drive. Luckily had my foot on the brake each of the 6 times it happened at a stop light/sign. Weird...
Thanks again, I will pass it on to her.
Wow! I had know idea parts can be vastly different in quality?
