#704799March 23, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE, STEERING
WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THE RPM GAUGE STARTED TO SHOW MAX RPM READINGS TO 0 AND CHANGING RAPIDLY. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THIS CHECKED WHEN AT A INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF. THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP BUT THE CAR COULD ONLY BE MOVED VERY SLOWLY UNTIL A MINUTE OR TWO PAST THEN THE SPEED WENT UP A BIT. THE REPAIR FACILITY FOUND A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND THE COMPUTER TO BE THE FAULT. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE RUNS GOOD, BUT THE GAS MILEAGE IS ONLY ABOUT 17-18 MPG. WILL TURN IT BACK INTO THE GERMAN DEALER TO HAVE THIS CHECKED. *AK
