My car starts when cold but will die only after about a min (the check enginge light is on). The car cannot be restarted right away, all it does is turnover. There is no spark. But if you leave it for a while you can start it up again but the same thing will happen.

The car was running fine last week and this problem suddenly occured. This problem is on my 91 Awd.

Codes from apocketlogger read: 14 Throttle Postion Sensor, 22 Crank Angle Sensor, 23 TDC Sensor.

Is 22 & 23 the same senor? If not what is the diffence and what are they (what do they look like)?

Your CAS and TDC are two different sensors, i believe the TDC sensor is on the other side of the block, if the CAS goes bad i know for a fact the car wont run, the TPS wont affect the car, the TDC im not sure since ive never heard of one going out, id check the CAS first thing, and wait for someone to have a more authoritative reply about the TDC sensor.

The CAS sits right on the tranny side of the block, on the side of the valve cover, in front of the throttle body.

if the engine looks like this:


Intake Manifold
