Replacing CPS solved finicky starts, but just had one on 2001 9-5 Wagon
I was having issues with the Wagon not starting after short trips, and researched the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) problem. I bought the real BOSCH replacement part from eeuro and after some swearing with this easy job, fitted the replacement. After the fix, all was well for about 2 months. No more issues with non-starts.
Just this week, I parked the car for about 45 minutes and when I returned to start it, the issue was back. It seemed to start right back up after about 30 minutes of just hanging out, trying to start it every now and again, pushing in the shifter button and going through the gears. Opened the hood just to make sure the new connector/wire wasn't compromised in some way. Was about to fit my emergency IC just to check that, but it started right up.
New battery and all else works fine - no other issues and no codes after checking. Only thing is I feel that it runs a tiny bit rough at first after fitting the new CPS.
Any ideas, anyone?
