Hello there!
It's a terrible shame to write my first post with such a negative subject but I really need your help.
My car is a 1999 Mk1 75SX.
Symptoms are as follows:
-Sometimes it takes an extra second of turning the key to start.
-Sometimes there are noticeable "notches" in the powerband under heavy
accelerating.
-Last couple of days it has started to flash the engine warning light and
stalling.
Fortunately it stays running if I apply some throttle and stalling ends after
a minute or so.
All these symptoms are quite sporadic but steadily getting worse.
I think the problem is the crankshaft position sensor but I would like to hear
your opinions on the topic.
Greeting from probably the most inhospitable place for an Italian car, Finland
