Hello all,
I have been up and down the internets trying to find out how to solve my Talon issue.
Its a 1995 Eagle Talon ESI with the 420A and Auto trans.
The car likes to stall shortly after first starting and randomly why driving thereafter. Most of the time, the engine will completely cut while coming to a stop or after having been stopped. If the engine stalls while accelerating or at speed, the CEL turns on for an instant and the car makes a quick stutter, but continues to run.
From what I've read, this is very common in these cars, but no one makes any definitive answers on what to do.
I've tried purchasing a new Crankshaft Position Sensor, however none of the shops in town carry the style that I've seen on this car. The sensor on the car has a small, oval shaped connector with three small round pins. The sensor that I've seen for sale just about everywhere online and in stores is larger, more rectangular shaped and has three flat pins.
These things are expensive and I hope to not have to buy every sensor to find the right one. I went to a Junkyard yesterday and looked at similar era eclipses only to find they had the rectangular type and not the oval-like one we have.
Whats the deal? Why are there 2 styles for the same model year?!
Thank you!
BTW: I just replaced the Camshaft Position Sensor and the results are the same. At least that is one factor of the puzzle that I don't need to worry about.
