Hey all,
Major headache and wallet pains... My 05 Tucson 2.7l V6 died on the highway about 6 months ago... I was doing about 110kph, (65mph?) and the whole thing just shut off, no power, no gas, nothing... Sadly, that caused my timing belt to tear (it was old and overdue) so I blew out all the valves... I thought that the belt CAUSED the issue but it just happened again on a new engine.
I paid 2600 for a new engine with 150,000km less on it than the original and thought I was good to go. I had issues the first week where it would stick in 3rd and not shift... I was getting a code that the input speed sensor was shot... So I replaced it... Got the code again and went back to the shop and they said they checked the wiring and fixed it so no more code...
Tonight, about 4 days later, I'm driving down the highway and the engine cut off again like the first major blowout... Now it won't start again... I'm on the side of the highway and waiting for a tow back to the garage...
I'm seeing other people saying that this might be the crankshaft position sensor and that it kills the engine like this... Any help would be appreciated!
