Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Hi All, well I have an update, the crank angle sensor fixed my engine misfire @ 4500rpm, the car had a couple of crank angle sensor stored faults, so when I had the IMS replaced, the sensor was done as well.

So, without codes, you could try checking the wires and cleaning the sensors.

I've already replaced the MAF sensor, spark plugs, coils, and air cleaner. No change.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Pelican Parts: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I am looking for some guidance, I have a misfire, or an early rev limiter on my 996. The engine revs really well to about 4500rpm, and then its just like you have hit the rev limiter. I've already replaced the MAF sensor, spark plugs, coils, and air cleaner. No change. It starts really well, idles and revs nicely right until you get to the 4500rpm mark. Anyone got any tips or direction ? Thanks, Schooners.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for your reply, no codes as yet, as here in Melbourne Australia we are still in COVID lockdown.. hopefully, next week.

POST 4Original post

I’ve never had this issue but I’ve heard of it several times. Seems like it was crank or cam position sensors each time. So, without codes, you could try checking the wires and cleaning the sensors.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, I went to install a new Crank Angle sensor tonight, but I couldn't get the plug apart, or plug out of the bracket, access is really bad, I can't even get my hands up into the area around the bracket and plug, and suggestions ? Do you need to carry out the replacement on a lift ? Thanks.

POST 6Original post

I have quick jacks so I get to all that stuff lying on a creeper. It can still be a one handed job sometimes

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, well I have an update, the crank angle sensor fixed my engine misfire @ 4500rpm, the car had a couple of crank angle sensor stored faults, so when I had the IMS replaced, the sensor was done as well. All good again.
