    Default Mates VN Not starting when warm

    My mate's VN wont start after shes been running for a while then turned off. Apart from that, the car is in great condition, extractors, calais interior, new starter motor, new fuel pump. He took it to a mechanic who gave it a free quick look and he had no idea. He is almost off his L's and we want to get it going so he can drive us places when we are drunk . Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    more than likely your crank angle sensor next time it happens carefully pour some water over the crank pulley to cool off the pulley and sensor,the sensor is behind the pulley.if it goes its a good chance the CAS is gone
    check the battery and connections as well

    Just a quick question bsbozzy, when you say it wont start do you mean it wont start at all or do you mean it just takes longer to start when hot than when it is cold? If it takes longer to start when hot, then does it blow black smoke out the exhaust and smell like fuel when it does start? If so, it could be leaking injectors.

    Its in the mechanics now getting the crank angle sensor replaced. Injectors are fine, they have already checked that.
