Reluctor ring?
Reluctor ring?
Anyone know what a reluctor ring fault is?
Had it into garage (not vauxhall dealer) and he said the code fault code indicates a relutor ring fault or ECM fault.
Its a 94 ecotec 16v and has resorted to limp mode i.e reduced power and wont rev above 4000-4500k.

never heard of one....... use this and a piece of wire / paperclip and get the code yourself, then it'll be a cheap easy fix......

If you're sure that's the right code, then why not, without a temp. sensor the ECU can not get the mixture right (like having choke on all the time??) crank sensor - was the engine running?? if not - that's why....... Remember to check wires to, and connection on, a sensor before changing it.......
£17 for a coolent temp. sensor is probably far less than you just paid at the garage, for some "reluctor ring" fault - i assume you've noticed that there's no such fault code and most likely you've been stitched up like a kipper.
Ahh and don't forget to reset the fault codes in the ECU after reading them (disconnect battery for 2 mins - remember radio codes alarms etc), then if it come back you know for certain what it is.......

The ring is the bit that the speed sensors pickup their pulse from. the cogged thing.
Had never heard of it before either, so looked it up on google.. now i know lol..
So odds are they mean the crank speed signal fault.. read again with the engine running etc, see if it goes away, if not they might just be right and your ring might be damaged(sounds very unpleasant!)

Changed cam phase sensor, and crank sensor now. coolant temp sensor seems ok after checking it with multi meter. Still running poo! Fault code still showing low revs.
It was fine when i switched it off night before, then wouldn't go the next day. Cant see how ring has broken over night unless its cracked due to thermal shock or some strange reason. This problem has me and the garage at a dead end and the worst bit about it is that i am loosing the will to keep my beloved cally.
Not even Vauxhall themselves can take away the ambiguity of "low revs".

<!--QuoteBegin-Andy SE9 V6+--><div class='quotetop'>(Andy SE9 V6)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Ok, i'll eat my words it, but EPC doesn't call it a reluctor ring..... it's number 3 on here, but looks like it's crank out to change it.......
dunno if it would be possiable to see the teeth through the hole where the sensor fit's to check they are clean and none are missing etc.....<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Vx managed to count the teeth on mine from outside, don`t know how they managed it.
