Thanks so much once again guys. I do like Bosch parts and tools a lot. I don’t miss Lucas... I was able to find the Bosch part at a great price on Amazon - $45. Bosch Automotive 0261210158 Crankshaft Position Sensor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049PK3HM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7MgvDbN4CG7ST I’m...

Thanks guys, yeah the mainstream sites are funny, I know. I use them for common parts like spark plugs and brake pads and Rover Parts (Atlantic/Pacific British) for other things since they’re local. Cheers.

Hmm, I’m just hesitant since I haven’t seen any codes. I’ve never replaced this part, but I’m not the original vehicle owner. I’ve had her about 5 years now. Would you absolutely recommend the OEM part against this aftermarket part that seems to be a solid replacement...

Trying to get the D2 to die while it’s running to run tests... it keeps starting now. It’s died 3 times total though. No engine codes. I can’t take it anywhere like this. Any ideas?

Does anyone have a good replacement part for this grommet? I looked through parts at the hardware store and didn’t find anything my Goldilocks D2 would find suitable - everything was too big, too small, or wasn’t a double flange design. Does anyone know how to properly describe this part? Rubber...

I’ve seen this a few times where two engines are listed on parts sites: 8 Cylinders 4 4.6L MFI OHV 8 Cylinders 6 4.6L MFI I never know which to choose. I do know that I’ve got a secondary air injection in my 2003 SE. Any ideas?

I’ll have to try to test the fuel pump tomorrow when it’s light out and the mosquitos go back home (and the blood sucking flies are out again). The car is in a safe place, but I’ll need to go down and see what I can find out tomorrow. Thanks for the pressure test - I’ll use that! If it’s the...

Broken down. Fuel pump, probably. Any recommendations are welcome!

Can’t smell fuel while pumping accelerator. Got it started and it died again after a minute. Fuel pump?

Just got fueled up out here. At 1/4 tank now. Tried to pump the accelerator while trying to start it. Nothing :/

Thank you both for your replies. The starter is turning, but that’s all I get. I hope it’s not just sludgy fuel... the low fuel light wasn’t on but it was below 1/8th of the tank. My friend is bringing fuel now. Hoping that’s all it is and that I’m just a lucky idiot! Anything else to...

I’ve got a 2003 D2 that just died while it was running - I was at a stop and it died and refused to start. The battery is ok and the starter was replaced somewhat recently. It’s trying to start but it won’t catch. No clicking sounds. Is it the ignition switch? Quick fix? Other things to check.

Thank you all, this has been incredibly helpful! I’m going to try to find a grommet that’ll do the job and I’ll report back when I’ve got any news.

Thanks for the pictures Blue! Like SG says, it looks like the grommet is what was there. I never took too close a look at any of this before. Something rubber or plastic deteriorated and I couldn’t tell what kind of part it was, but there was definitely something on there! Exactly - the pin...

Hmm, I thought there was a plastic piece that was on that metal post. Something broke off at a gas station recently... I checked out part FUG100580 - I’m currently having the fish out the actuator’s pole each time since it goes back behind the car’s body. It doesn’t seem that bending the gas...
