Tipo check engine light sluggish
Summary of the thread
A 2023 Fiat Tipo with a gasoline engine exhibited a check engine light, sluggish performance, poor engine response, and increased fuel consumption. The diagnostic trouble code indicated a 'Crankshaft to camshaft reference value' issue, suggesting a potential problem with the synchronization between these components. The likely causes included a defective crankshaft or camshaft position sensor or a timing belt issue. The problem was resolved by replacing the crankshaft sensor.

I read the codes; it shows 'Crankshaft to camshaft reference value'. I haven't done any work on it recently.

The DTC 'Crankshaft to camshaft reference value' suggests a potential issue with the synchronization between the crankshaft and camshaft positions. This could stem from a defective crankshaft or camshaft position sensor, or potentially an issue with the timing belt. Given the symptoms and the diagnostic code, I would advise taking the car to a trusted workshop for a thorough diagnosis and, if necessary, component replacement to ensure optimal engine performance and reliability.

Thanks for the help. Turns out it was the crankshaft sensor. Cost me 340€ to get it fixed.

It is important to ascertain the specific nature of the fault indicated by the check engine light. Could you provide any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that have been recorded? Furthermore, have you observed any unusual noises emanating from the engine compartment, or any recent maintenance procedures performed on the vehicle?
