Question I have a hall sensor code 0515- replaced the sensor and the engone light still blinks on and off. Timing is correct, ground wires to the head are ok. I have five volts at both the white/red and black red wires. The other wire is 0 volts. This is when the connector is unplugged and ignition is on. I am stumped. Any ideas????
Answer I realize that you said the timing is correct, but has the timing belt been replaced recently? If the balance shaft is not oriented perfectly when the t-belt is replaced, these issues you are describing will become evident. The balance shaft is used to drive the distributor off of the timing belt. Is this an ABA 2.0 Litre, or is this a 1.8 Litre engine...both are nearly identical in their design, except for displacement, but there may be something else I don't know about the 1.8 Litre, since I haven't worked on many of them, and could network some to get more information for you, and your situation. Thanks, David, I hope I have shed a little light on you problem, even if I haven't given you a concrete solution. I work on mostly cars that are later in their production, and design, but some of the fellows I work with are still conversant with your model, and powerplant. Let me know if there is something further I might do.
