VP starting troubles

[StevenzZ]

hey guys. got a bit of a problem...

We got a vp daily that we have had for a few years that everyone in the house drives and lately its giving us some trouble. In the morning the car will start and run fine as it normally would but if we go into coles or something for a quick stop and turn the car off and come back 5minutes later the car wont start, it cranks and everything just wont kick over.

we wait about 15minutes and then it will start again...i dont even now where to start, the last time it did this i was there and i checked if there was fuel and all the rest of it and everything was fine..it just wont crank over. After we wait about 15minutes the car will start and run fine as it has been since we got it

Any ideas would be great because its getting very annoying
Thanks in advance.

sounds like the crank angle sensor to me. same thing happened to me and that is what the problem was.

thanks mate, do you know the average price they go for?

that happened to me with a cordia and turns out the timing was slightly out. have u noticed a lack in power?

Typical symptoms for the crank angle sensor, I dont know on price, but shoudnt be more then $200.
