Hi,

My Panda 1.2 4x4 has the engine light on. I read the code as P0335 and then cleared it. The car runs fine when warm but is in limp mode when cold and wet. This car has a hard life with most miles on very rough tracks, carries hay on the roof and is expected to do the job of a farm quad - which it does very well.

I am now the proud owner of a new sensor from ebay but I don't know where the original is fitted in the engine, please could someone explain where it is or better still put up a photo. Buying new bits might seem silly but it is very much cheaper than going to a fiat dealer and if its not the problem I can sell it on ebay as a used spare.

Any help or ideas gratefully received.

It's not a bad idea - new sensors make sense (!) and are not over expensive. Can't post a picture easily as on iPad right now, but dead easy to find. Stand in front of car (bonnet open.... ) and look down towards the bottom left hand side of the engine block. The CPS is mounted with its sensitive end pointing at the crank pulley, only about 3-4mm from it. There's a single connector on it and it's about the size of a small lipstick I'd say! Held in by a clip arrangement and easy to change - when the engine is cold as it's near the exhaust. Easy to get at underneath, but you'd need to remove the engine guard to get at it.

Good luck!

Cam Position Sensor - secondary timing/fuelling control only (primary timing is Crank Position Sensor)

thanks,
I wasn't sure - as when the cam-belt has skipped before it has still run o.k.,
( perhaps "averaging-out" the 2 sensors values)
