rev limits a 4000 rpm......

[pyielufc]

is this due to a sensor fault?


thanks

Yes usually if the revs limit at 4k, you'll need to flash the codes off to find out which one though

my old car wouldnt rev past 4k when the cat was blocked but that just sounded like it was bogging out at 4k if its electronically limited at 4k then i dont know

mine did this, turned out to be the crank and cam sensor. as said before flash the codes off, saves you paying for sensors that you may not need.

will this crank sensor work with the x20xe redtop engine? as i got sent a fekin siemens one (that i still have) last time and obviosuly it dont work with the bosch ECU.....

this is the one that i got for my x20xev and they look the same on the c20xe. but i couldnt tell you regarding the x20xe as i dont know much about these engines. from looking at the table provided on the link they dont seam to fit the x20xe, are you sure thats your engine code? is it not an x20xev or c20xe?

If you've got a C20XE 'redtop' engine then the crank sensor from a later Ecotec wont fit. The C20XE's are the earlier Bosch stuff. If the EML isn't on its very unlikely to be a sensor fault and unlikely any codes are stored. If the crank sensor is iffy the engine wont run at all. The early C20XE (with the dizzy) doesnt have a cam sensor as such, it uses a hall sender in the dizzy for the cylinder recorgnision signal. To me your problem sounds more like a dodgy air flow meter or an air leak somewhere. Is the engine revving high on idle at all?
