Hey guys,
I've got a 2003 zx3 that I've owned since new. Its been flawless up until last Thursday when on my way home, the engine cut out when I was accelerating through an intersection.
I bought premium extended warranty and the tow was covered under roadside assistance...
The car is checked out the next day, and they said the crank position sensor had to be replaced and all is cool.
I go pick it up that day, and not even a kilometer from the dealership she's dead again...I curse extensively this time. Thats 2 days in a row stranded. Not cool.
So today they call me up saying that the crank position sensor is being hit by something in the bell housing and that they suspect it might be the clutch and that wouldn't be covered under warranty.
There is a TSB for premature clutch wear/breakage which I had to point out to the dealer...
Anyone shed any clues/ideas/thoughts as to what the hell might be going on in there??
Thanks in advance, ask any questions that I might have missed explaining.
