V6 Diagnostic port

31 will show up if the engine isnt running

but it won't if the engine is running?

if the engine is running then you should not get code 31 ..as the crankshaft is turning

Mate ive got a plug lying in my garage,let me know if you want
it and I could post it to you

ok thanks mate,

so i take it, if i still get code 31 when the engine is running, then the crankshaft sensor has a fault?

so i did the test again with the engine running!
but, it seems as if the process of flashing out the codes gets interupted, and starts over again, and this keeps happening again and again
during the flashing of the codes, it looks alot like the EML flickers, either in between each flash or during a flash!

with the engine of i get 1,2-1,2-1,2.........1,4,5-1,4,5-1,4,5.........3,1-3,1-3,1.....then back to the start
with the engine running it dont even get to complete the 1,2-1,2 part on most attempts, and on odd occasions it gets about halfway thru the 1,4,5-1,4,5 part.

would this suggest that the crankshaft sensor has a fault????
