ringosnose 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I though i had cured this problem by changing the plugs and leads until today when it just dyed on me.Theres no coughing or spluttering before hand it just stops,Turn the ignition back on and starts up straight away.After reading throught the froum i can only think of 2 things in my mind and that would be a sensor(dunno wich one) or the coil pack?Anyone else had this kind of thing happen to them or have any ideas whats going on?

kalv 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Mine did it but wouldn't startup again until 15min later.I tried:Fuel additive/cleaner (£5)Fuel Pump Relay (£10)Camshaft Sensor (£40)Ended up being crank position sensor, cost me £100 to replace it from specialist - a bit steep but gave me 1yr warranty on it.

kalv 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Garage smacked mine on a code reader (i got my own aswell).. no codes were showing.They had to race back and scope some sensors.. when they got to the crank position sensor.. I tried the others myself.. but in light of the changes i made and the garage car feels amazing.. it's as if it's got a new lease of life.. so much more responsive..!
