Hi all, my 1998 Punto cuts out when warmed up, and won't restart until its cooled down some. There's no spark at the distributor when hot and it has stalled - this leads me to believe the engine management isn't getting a signal from the TDC sensor. Now on these engines, is this sensor watching the camshaft or the crankshaft? This is a common problem on the Alfa 4-cyl petrol engines, and it is the crankshaft position sensor that fails when warm (resistance gets too high), but having done a search on here I have seen someone mention cam sensor.. But surely wouldn't the sensor be on the crankshaft as this is turning once per revolution unlike the camshafts which only turn halfway round per revolution?
Hope someone can clarify things with me
