 Hi! My 2.2 -08 stopped at my way to work a month ago, a coworker came and towed me, I did a try with the key when towed, it came to live and idled as nothing happened.

Drove the car home, it ran normally for almost two weeks, one morning when starting it, it coughed and died and then refused to start and has been sitting since.

Lexia says signal camshaft, wrong signal or missing signal (P0341)
Signal temperature fuel shortcut to + or circuit interrupted (P0183)
Signal fuel pressure shortcut to + or circuit interrupted or to high value (P0193)
Signal engine speed, signal missing (P0336)

I've changed camshaft sensor & crank sensor.

It looks to me that the fuel pressure sensor is dead too, since it says shortcut et cetera. Like a dead wheel sensor.

But all these codes were "volatile errors" and could all be deleted.

Any thoughts?

Should I just go ahead and order a new pressure sensor?
Or is my HP fuel pump gone?
Btw, fuel filter also changed, tediously bleeded.

Regards/Chris

Showed to be a faulty crank sensor...

You really can't trust Lexia, it throwed out 4 different error codes, all "volatile" even the one that was the triggering fault. I changed the crank & camshaft sensors, the crank sensor being a Hella and the camshaft one being this rubbish brand "Stark". It was defective and since I changed them both at the same time the car wouldn't start.

Change one part at a time and NEVER buy the cheaper sensor. That's the moral in this story. Or buy a complete analog car instead, I'm pretty fed up with rolling computers honestly...
