Hello,

This sounds like you have a crankshaft angle sensor that is out. Here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when changing it out. This sensor will not create a code when it goes out.

Here are some diagrams that will help you see what it will be like on your car.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
