G'day guys. Not sure if Power Control Moduel is the correct name but i hate em just the same. Its the little thing hanging off the dizzy with wires coming out of it. Just a small thing but very expensive and frustrating to fix.

Unlike the last time it shit itself, where it gave warnings just before failure, this time i was crusing down Ipswich road at 90k, minding my own business when "snap", just like that the engin dies....no power...dash ignition lights come on . the head lights , indicators ...every thing else worked still . The engine turned over with plenty of grunt but no start. No spark from the leads...no spark from the coil. Bought a brand new coil.....still no start.

It worked out to be the Power control moduel. it cut the power to the engin with no warning....one second it was fine the next it was dead.

so, if you have a problem like this dont waste all your money trying other things first.....go straight for the moduel. it will be the cheaper place to begin your search.

be good stay safe.

Do you mean the Crank angle sensor? coz i've heard when they die the same thing happens, It just lets go and the car will stall and not start again.

are the symptoms like your airflow meter is disconected? coz that happens to me about once a forghtnight where it just dies and will almost start but just stalls again...5 mins later its fine as if nothing was ever wrong
