Engine is difficult to start or does not start.

Circuit description
Connector A Speed sensor (flywheel) The flywheel sensor is an inductive sensor. The fly-
wheel sensor is used to monitor engine speed. It is
also used to measure the cylinder acceleration. The
flywheel has three times eighteen depressions for one
rotation.
These depressions are detected by the flywheel sen-
sor and generate a pulsed signal which the engine
control unit uses to detect flywheel rotation speed.
Two cylinders share one sector of the depressions (cyl-
inders 1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4) on the flywheel. This
means that it is not possible to know which cylinder is
in line for injection, without the camshaft sensor.
