    Sounds like the dreaded Crank Angle Sensor problem. Check for error codes. link to the how to below.
    Checking error codes VR/VS (Revised)
    Also, check out this thread, or perform a search, there are a few threads on the subject, but check for error codes before buying anything or pulling anything apart.
    Code 46 and 47
    Hope this helps.

    i'd be replacing or check the DFI quick smart. If you can borrow a working one and put that in for a while you will soon see if that is your problem.

    Just an Update It was the crank angle sensor. It wasn't getting one of the voltages.

    Good job, the good old manual and a multimeter generally makes a quick job of finding the exact problem.
