after sittin in a parking lot with ac on and engine running my 2001 cl type s suddenly died . starting backup was difficult as it sounded like running out of fuel wich i had plenty of. limped home 1 mile away with hazrds on and let cool down. tried starting and even worse now as it would not start but for a second or two then die.
listened for fuel pump humm on start ..yes ...
check eng light on so read code and only one P1361
TDC sensor
After researching in several directions the code P1361,
I found discussions about connections etc. getting wet after spray wash and or bad connections /damaged wiring. I did not find one case where the TDC sensor had gone bad and infact many resolved problems by re running 4 conductor to sensor.
So with that in mind I started in around the area of Wiring and 4 pin connector . i noticed a slight leakage around steering pump that could possibly get into and around sensors as they are located right down and behind pump. but again ..rare it seems for these to go bad so...
Before pulling everything apart I checked the resistance between 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 also went looking for any voltage at harness with key ign on. here is what i found and need someone with the knowledge to tell me if readings indicate fault or bad sensor/s...
At sensors... resistance measures 750 ohms between 1&2 and 750 ohms between 3&4 .and no shorts to ground.
At the harness side with key oni detected only a slight ambient voltage of .03-.04 volts on 1 & 2...1 & grnd
same with 3 & 4 .. & 3 to grnd
also on harness side i had
shorts to ground on2 & 4 and ,
10 k ohms between 1 & 2 and 10k between 3 & 4 please if someone could tell me what if anything this determines and any advice is appreciated. i need this car running in a huge way. thank you in advance for any advice on how to resolve.
