0 mikebh8 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi, if you don't apply easy start, would evently start on its own?It sounds like crankshaft position sensor... Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Zo9 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 If you leave it for a while yes.where would the crank sensor be located? I've looked and can't see anything.im assuming it would be Bell housing/engine block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mikebh8 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) It's somwhere on the side where the oil filter is.See picture in the link bellow. If I remember well, you can access it by removing the battery and the battery support otherwise from underneath. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=chrysler+grand+voyager+2.5+crd+crankshaft+sensor+location&tbm=isch&prmd=ivsn&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbrMP2orTVAhUiCMAKHc3rDaMQ_AUIBygB&biw=360&bih=560&dpr=2#imgrc=I0pJMfU0Ej6McM: Edited July 31, 2017 by mikebh8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Shandy123 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hmmm, I was reading this thread only yesterday thinking 'what a nightmare' then today, on the motorway (same engine: 2.5 diesel), I was overtaking at just over 75mph, going uphill, giving it maybe 2500-2800 rpm and the engine warning light came on, along with significant loss of power.I put the clutch in immediately, the light went off, and power was available again. I then drove 300 miles, going between 55 and 70mph, with no repeat of the episode (I didn't thrash it again though, lol).I wonder if it's related to your problem?

0 gordy Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Zo9 partly sounds crank sensor related but falls out when car happy to run ok some days. Somehow sounds like the old air in fuel problem and need to check fuel filter.As to Shandy I've still got that problem and living with it. Thought to be Turbo Actuator not working or hose pipework to it blocked. Accessibility problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shandy123 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Ah, so a slightly blocked hose can't supply enough when demand is high?Kinda like a heart attack, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mikebh8 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi, there is a thread of mine with pipes blocked, I think I uploaded a picture too. I found that the stainless steel pipe that goes from the front of the engine to the back was glogged up with debris, only in that case, the oi was thrown out through the dipstick hole and the oil filling top camshaft hole as it wasn't circulated. That was only after 30-40 minutes with the engine running. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shandy123 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thanks Mike, I'll check it out, when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gordy Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Mind that Turbo actuator works via pressure from a short pipe from boost outlet of Turbo. Actuators seem to only sell complete with the turbo itself and if anyone can get a new one without the turbo please inform on here. There is no reason why the short rubber hose can't block up as its in a dirty enviornment so check this first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tomazis Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Had same problem with my 2.8 crd. Cutting out when hot and over 2500rpm. Changed crank sensor, pcm valve,fuel pressure valve, fuel relieve valve, filter housing, refurbished injectors- didn't fix the problem. The culprit was pcm valve relay.
