Alfa 147 TS crank position sensor replacement

[CatmanV2]

Hi Alfa gurus.

Mrs C's 147 TS has been getting a little grumpy about starting and lo, it finally threw a CEL this morning. Sure enough P0335. According to Jamie Porter's pictures it looks pretty simple.

Is it as easy as it looks? Any gotchas?

Cheers!

I did this job many years ago on a 2L TS. 'Memory is getting a bit thin but I seem to remember it was pretty easy. What's not abundantly clear from Jamie's pictures is that you get at the wiring from the top but the sensor itself from underneath. It's located towards the rear so you'll need enough height to slide under the engine to access it.

Cat, I take it your having warm starting issues?

Before you change it, locate the fuel pump relay in the box in the engine and swap it with a new one or one of the others (fan 2 springs to mind)

I had this on a TS, did the TDC sensor, no change and tracked it down to this in the end.

Warm start and the P0335 code from memory. Sensor is on order, I just hope my jack / arms are up to it
