It's a bit low. But if they were all even it could just be the tester they used.

Hi there

If NPS is not working correctly then due this you have those misfire issues,you can search over here threads about the NPS and misfire,just I would datalog if AVCS are working or yours speed converter is working

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura

Read my ecu for codes got p0335 but i didnt notice eml on so read up on it found this
NOTE: If the crank sensor is used only for misfire detection and NOT spark timing (this varies with the vehicle), the vehicle should start and run with MIL (Malfunction indicator lamp) illumination. Also, some vehicles require several key cycles to illuminate the MIL. If this is the case, there may be no MIL illumination until the problem often enough over time. If the crank sensor is used for BOTH misfire detection and spark timing, the vehicle may or may not start. Symptoms may include: Vehicle may not start (see above) Vehicle may run rough or misfire MIL illuminates

Could this be my issue

Hi there

If you have bad crank sensor which can be,I know from our experience when our crank sensor failed,we have issue with starting or car started splutter like you are running out the fuel etc when car has been in operating temps,not sure if this can cause yours issues which you have as seems on yours you don't have one issue but several like NPS

All those issues(NPS and crank sensor) can cause those issues as without the NPS yours AVCS will be in retarded position and if yours crank doesn't work or is faulty,you can have issue with starting and when car is hot,you can have issue when you will be driving as car can die and when engine will be bit colder,you will and can start the engine

I would replace both sensor and take have look on other bits which needs to be replaced there

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura

The crank sensor was obviously controlling starting here^
