AMGeed said:Using the Mercedes STAR diagnostic code numbers, the code P1354 relates to the following: P1354 deflection angle between camshaft and crankshaft P1354 Synchronization between crankshaft and camshaft Frequency of camshaft signal is too high. P1354 Synchronization between crankshaft and camshaft Main injection correction is faulty. P1354 Synchronization between crankshaft and camshaft No camshaft signal. P1354 Synchronization between crankshaft and camshaft No crankshaft signal. P1354 Synchronization between crankshaft and camshaft Plausibility P1354 Synchronization between crankshaft and camshaft The flow limiter has been activated. The "car won't start when it's hot" is typical of a faulty crankshaft sensor, but someone with far more experience of these codes would know if a faulty camshaft sensor will give the same symptom. Does the code come back if it is cleared and you drive the car?
panason1c said:As I understand it, the rev counter takes its signal from the crank position sensor (cps). When the car is hot and won't start, look for the rev counter needle jumping slightly during cranking, that would indicate that the cps is ok..........but if the needle is still, then I would suspect the cps to be faulty (not the camshaft position sensor)
Could it be the flywheel ? Damaged somehow ?
panason1c said:I doubt it..... the cps is probably ok then. Probably have to trust the codes flagged and go for the camshaft sensor.
Do you think I could whip it out and spray some electrical contact cleaner on it. Give it a good spraying and put it back or will this make it worse ?
panason1c said:Nothing to lose by trying that, though I doubt it will help as its probably knackered internally....it won't make it any worse than it already might be.
