VN cranks but wont start!!!!!!!!

[redlion05]

Hi there peoples

My Vn Calais is temporarily having starting issues. On the rare ocassion ( ie at coles), my car will crank but not start. I usually wait for 30mins for the car to cool down and it'll start again or when my mum arrives and jump starts the car.

Ive been told that it could be my 'crankshaft angle sensor' by my uncle but im wondering if it could be something else. Any suggestions?

Also, the engine has a habit of stalling while driving long distances. Unsure if this problem is caused by the same thing.

Much appreciated for everyones help

Highly likely to be the crank angle sensor they tend to play up when they get hot throw some water on them or let it cool down they'll work again

Cheers mate!

Im going down to bursons to get a new crankshaft angle sensor. Hopefully it resolves my problems. Have you had the same problem with your car?

Yeah, definitely sounds like a CAS.

When you get it, make sure you tell the person that it's a Series 2 VN. They're different CAS'.
