Need some help guys.
Symptoms: Turn key to on, everything lights up correctly, fuel pump engages, etc. Turn to start, and I don't hear anything from the motor.
After 2 or 3 tries, motor throws a check engine code "crank position sensor" but I think this is a symptom not the problem. IE it is doing this because the motor knows thinks it should be spinning and it's not, so the computer assumes the crank sensor is bad as it's not getting any input?
Ofcourse after moving the throttle control and looking around at the wires under the cowling of the motor it fired right up and continued to run perfectly. So it makes it very difficult to trouble shoot. The wires I was looking at would be the Shift Postion Sensor and the Neutral Switch, both in the lower cowling under neath where the throttle cables are rigged.
Can either this shift sensor or the neutral switch go bad and cause this type of deal where it will work perfect sometimes and not work at all other times?
Is there anyway to trouble shoot this to fix the problem for certain instead of throwing parts at it?
I have brand new battery cables and batterys, all have good connections.
