Implausible signal
I had my vehicle diagnostics done and can anyone tell me what does implausible signal from the crank sensor and misfire on cylinder3 mean? The vehicle has no power, battles to start up and it sounds almost like it has airlock on fuel side. Please assist.

Re: Implausible signal
Please check your engine speed sensor/crank sensor wiring maybe its loose, that's why struggles to start and misfire.
Misfire on cylinder 3 could be the ignition coil on cylinder 3, please replace that and see if it will go away.
please post the fault codes so that we can see.

Re: Implausible signal
Implausible signal means that the data from the sensor is outside of the values that the ECU is expecting.Germanzn wrote:I had my vehicle diagnostics done and can anyone tell me what does implausible signal from the crank sensor and misfire on cylinder3 mean?

Misfire on cylinder (?) means exactly that. The ECU has detected that in (?) cylinder combustion has not occurred.
What vehicle do you have and where are you located in KZN? There are a number of good mechanics I could send you to, but it doesn't help you if they are far away.
