Glad you got it sorted! The funny thing is this has happened a number of times. And always after pulling in, turning off the ignition and restarting it comes back to life (though slightly longer to start than normal). Never smelled anything burning either.

I'll try the sensor first and see from there.

Many thanks for the comment much appreciated :)

It's a familiar story, and almost always the crank sensor. I've picked up some very cheap Suzuki's over the years with the same "untraceable engine fault".

Hello, I have the exact same problem. I changed the crank sensor that in front of the engine. Behind the fan if i remember correctly. This did not help. If i understand this thread correctly then I tried to change the wrong sensor? Right now i al not taking the jimny on the highway as this always happens after some minutes on 3000 rpm and 100km/h. Could someone help me with the correct part number? I have a 04 but with a m16a engine from a 04 liana.

The crank sensor has to be very close to the crank, on the M13 it is behind the alternator pointing at the front of the crankshaft from the side.

If your sensor was near the top of the engine on the front cover then it was the camshaft sensor, when this fails the engine usually keeps going but sets an error code.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Thank you! New part ordered. I hope this makes me able to take the old jimny ( my favourite car ) on the highway again. The feeling I got when the engine rpm goes bananas when i am deep down in a long tunnel made me avoid highways all together. I actually bought a new car just for highway use, so the Jimny could be used on country roads only. Hope the new sensor will fix it. Sorry for hijacking this tread.

Not at all the more info we get the better! Hopefully you and I both get sorted and can spin on the motorway in no time! Keep me posted.

Thanks again everyone!
