What your describing sounds like an intermittent crankshaft position sensor although that's just an educated guess. The erratic tach signal points to that also since the crank sensor is responsible for the tach signal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Loren SW Washington Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Apr 29, 2009, 5:25 PM Post #5 of 6 (2509 views) Re: 02 solara dies Sign In It likely won't show up in a code and is probably more than just a loose wire. You may have to change the sensor to determine if it's the cause or not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
