The engine starts and then stops after 2 to 3 seconds and has fault codes of high temp exhaust sensors 1 and 2 but I cannot locate these sensors the dealer worked on this car before when it shorted the wiring on the ECM and they change the but not the wiring harness and said they cannot supply the harness any more...but maybe the harness is still ok as it is because the engine starts but it just stops after 2 to 3 seconds every time but could not keep it running
I repaired complete engin with a lot of sensors still showing error code on my captiva p0110 its been replaced and light cancelled but comes back after 1 drive. No vacuum leaks new petrol cap etc any help will be much appreciated.
Engine control unit:
Fault codes:
P0100 - Mass airflow meter 1 circuit/open
P0110 - Air temperature sensor 1 circuit/open
Cause
Inlet air temperature sensor:
Damaged wiring
Note: The mass airflow meter incorporates the inlet air temperature sensor
Solutions
Connect the diagnostic tool
Read out the fault codes
Delete all the fault codes
Carry out a test drive
Check the inlet air temperature
If large value fluctuations are observed, carry out the following checks: (- 15... + 40°C)
Note: Use a multimeter
Check the electrical continuity between the following pins/points:
Note: While wiggling the wiring
Pin 3 - Mass airflow meter
Pin 37 - Engine control unit
Pin 4 - Mass airflow meter
Pin 42 - Engine control unit
The engine warning light illuminates
