Hello everyone, I have a weird issue that I thought was going to be fixed by replacing the starter. However, the only reason I'm posting here is because I cannot figure out why after the car does not start, I have the check engine/4LO and code P0335 (Crankshaft Position Sensor).
This is what's happening:
- I push the button and after about five seconds nothing happens
- I try again and 99% of the time it will start right up but I have the check engine light on with code P0335
- It drives fine and after a day or two it will go away while starting fine every single time
- Some times there's a delay in starting but it starts
- I also started to have the symptoms of Limp Mode but no code
- I stop the car, turn it off, open the door and then try again. After this, no more Limp Mode
- In the past I have heard the clicking sound you get when the starter is going bad but I have not heard that in a while
I have a 2008 LC200 Diesel V8.
I hope someone has some idea because I'm between replacing the starter and/or the Crankshaft Position Sensor and one of those is a very difficult task.
Thanks in advance.
