Help !!!,I'm being driven slowly insane by a 2012 Evo 1.2. It had a cam/crank colleration message on scanning and failed mot due to EML being on. This has been a long standing issue on this car(3yrs+), swapping cam sensor/crank sensor would turn off eml for a period time but no longer. So last week changed cam belt/waterpump etc, used a locking kit supplied by parts supplier as per engine code,swapped crank/cam sensor for new-engine no start. stripped down and re checked everything and timing all ok,put old sensors back on-engine starts....EML still on and the re-learn procedure ive read about wont do anything. Changed vvt solanoid as no oil present in vvt sprocket when i removed plug-still same so after a chat with a punto specialist who mentioned about the pulley should give auadible click when loosened(this one didnt) and assuming vvt sprocket was faulty swapped that yesterday and re-timed again(Im using the guide ive seen on here as referance),again still the same issue. Code P0016 keeps comming back even when cleared. Odd thing ive discovered relating to sensors is the crank sensor is FAE version-ive 2 new ones now from parts supplier that are OE spec and wont start on either of them. Cam sensor swapped twice incase bad sensor. So can anyone throw light on this ?-would it be possible for the engine to run even if lets say crank is 1 rotation out?-ive read on here 2 turns crank to 1 turn cam,cant see it myself but asking all the same. Ive a engine diagnostic guy comming tuesday with he tells me fiat software-is this required does any one know after cam belt change?-and also for the last couple years while EML has been on the car has limited to around 70mph,im guessing for safety purpose-could this have caused long term issue ??. Im scratching my head here and running outa ideas.
