Did it die as u were drivin, like splutter to a stop, or just not start after a drive.

Can u hear ur fuel pump?

Maybe throw sum water on ur crank angle sensor, could be hot n not reading.

A lil bit more info on wat happend n sumone should be able to help.

yeh it died when i was drivin i checked me fuel pump its workin cause i undone the line at the fuel rail and turned the ignition and fuel came out so its getting fuel it just not firing over now

My guess would be the CAS, its in the dizzy. Either that or the ignition module. Do a code check and see what it tells you.

Ummmm what crank angle sensor?? The 5lt doesn't use one
It will be either the coil or ignition module are dead, or as in my case the ECU itself. Try a fault code test first. If thats no good find somone with a 5lt and swap the coil and ICM and test it out.

yeah cheers guys i got a mate whos gonna lend me his ignition module to see if its that if its not that then im gonna get a coil.

Wasnt goin to post as i dont no much on 5L but fort i would to try get sum more info about what happened when it died.

Oh well, I thought they had a CAS in the dizzy. Never had much to do with the 5 ltrs. My money was on the ignition module anyway.

90% of the time when a 5 litre conks out it's the ignition module

Correct. Mine has been replaced.

I'm still waiting to conk out: )

[vpssguy]

VT's have something kinda like that, not a CAS in the literal sense, but they use a signal from the dizzy to figure out which cylinder is coming onto the intake stroke for the sequential injection.
