if shielding was an issue, it wouldn't take this long to show up. would love to hear from Art on this.

never heard of Bremsi. i hope you mean Bremi, which my crank sensor experience is with v6/8 mercedes, not volvo. mb has 2 part numbers for it-1 for bosch, other for bremi. never an issue. Bremi is a quality brand.

oe sensors have foil wrap, nothing else. i've seen the outer insulation degrade and the sensor still work.

the only 214 code i got was when a sensor was replaced and the bolt fell into the hole. tech got another bolt and sent the car. i get the car, no start, code 214. the reluctor on the flex plate was dinged so bad, the sensor read it but the ecu couldn't use the signal. replaced the flexplate.

resistance is futile. only way to test it is with a scope. i fashioned a harness to plug into both connectors and have pig tails for scope hookup.

haven't needed an lh 2.4 crank sensor for years, and never used anything but oe.

give me a no start and i see off brand stuff, it gets replaced. fixed alot of cars by using the real thing. bosch cap and rotor and fuel pumps to replace airtex fuel pumps come to mind. use them instead of whatever comes from whoever. gee, now it runs. used to see that alot.
