Omega Owners Forum - paper clip results are in

My car always gives a 31 when not running and it always disappears when running. I have replaced a crank sensor (which fixed a problem) but the error 31 has always behaved in the same way. So, I would say ignore the 31.

Knock sensor would not stop car starting. It would make it perform badly though.

The wire is a coax type, and yes, the screen is part of the circuit...

WRT to crank sensor codes...

19 is conclusive - knacker sensor
31 is non conclusive on a non running engine (I thought Dragon33's car wouldn't start)
