Rm8k Wira & Jazz GK5 ownership experience-A long way to go

Did you see my comment about the wobbly crank pulley? You should be able to visually inspect the pulley. Start the car and look at the pulley turn. If it wobbles then you potentially have your culprit.

China crank sensor - but was it made for your specific engine or a generic VDO sensor?

I have start the engine and inspect. Didn't have any wobble.
Yesterday I checked and try wobble the crank sensor itself at the bottom side and the car died same as the car usually went dead.

Not sure as I never see the package.

From your picture, the whole thing looks pretty solid. How much force did you apply to wobble it?

There's a reason why I asked. The sensor's position relative to the trigger wheel is supposed to be quite immovable. It cannot be "longgar" to the extent where a small force may deflect it. This will cause the sensor to miss a read and stall the engine.

Have you gotten a multimeter yet? Check to see if sensors are really faulty.

So what you mean is maybe my sensor is crooked is it?

eh... you are not supposed to be able to shake the sensor bracket and all la wahlau... anyway it's beginning to sound more and more like sensor problem

I am not shaking the bracket sensor lah,hahahaha
I juz hold the sensor top wire tarik abit & goyang abit see will it make the engine dead.

You skimped for 190 bucks? Man oh man - chinese sensors are never good. Even those aftermarket meters using chinese sensors are rubbish.

maybe it it caused by the china OEM sensor. haha. coz if i remember correctly, VDO is a bit choosy with sensors.
and as @Izso and @parakey mentioned, the sensor supposed to be tight and snug at it's bracket/holder. it's not supposed to move even if u try moving it with your hands.

 

[KHNG940413]

Wira update

Juz now have bought the Crank sensor. And luckily my bottom engine cover also arrived yesterday. So later will install these 2 thing inside the car

 

[stupidcar]

Ok have u ever thought that your ECU is shit, try find one to swap and see if problem persists. or dismantle the ECU and see if the chips are still nice not leaking.

yeah... kena before... put in a OEM sensor... problem persist... When changed to original sensor problem solved

Which sensor was that? Was it installed by the mechanic or yourself?

 

[KHNG940413]

You can tell if it's okay within one day? How long did your first sensor last?

1st last around half year
2nd haven't reach a week not spoilt but use it will keep engine die
3rd what is now I am using ori one

For what I know the 1st & 2nd is oem one.

 

[parakey]

2nd haven't reach a week not spoilt but use it will keep engine die

Did you compare both sensors side by side? I am wondering if the other sensor had a slightly different circumference and wasnt seated properly in the bracket. Without testing the meters with a multimeter, how does one determine if it's faulty?
