Hi, sometimes, like this morning, my 3 door refuses to start and displays a 1+1 (inductive REV/TPD sensor) error code more often than not, occasionaly 1+3 (ignition timing signal).

Since it normally started when I turned the ignition off and back on I ignored it up to now but I guess I should sort it out seeing it looks like it's not going to start until I do

I'm reasonably sure the two are related but can anyone confirm that the 1+1 relates to the crank sensor rather than the phase sensor?

1+1 Inductive REV/TDP sensor
1+2 Inductive distributor phase sensor
1+3 Ignition timing signal (ECU internal)
2+1 Inlet air temperature sensor (short circuited)
2+2 Inlet air temperature sensor (open circuit)
2+3 Coolant temperature sensor (short circuited)
3+1 Coolant temperature sensor (open circuit)
3+2 MAP sensor (short circuited)
3+3 MAP sensor (open circuit)

1 + 1 is crank sensor, 1 + 2 is phase sensor.

check the gap (0.4 to 1mm between sensor face and tooth face) on the crank sensor, and the connection and state of the cable.

 

Cheers Nick,
Went out this morning and she started first time. 10 attempts yesterday, nothing.

Now that it's managed to get me to work and back I'll take it off to clean and check it tomorrow. I've a few jobsI've been meaning to do, the whole car is overdue a little TLC!

I want to 'corrosion proof' the various electrical connectors, I've used spray PTFE white grease in the past but I would like to use something that I can pack the connector out with,anyone got any thoughts on the suitability of normal grease?

all normal grease will do is prevent moisture getting in in the first place, it doesn't have any active ingredients to clean up already corroded terminals. i would look for specialist electrical connector products at RS, Farnell or Maplin
