    Default VS wont start when hot

    Seemed to be an intermittent thing but is getting more frequent, the car acts like the battery is flat (or it was) but strangely if I leave it to cool down it roars into life.

    Any thoughts?

    Possibly the Crank Angle Sensor is failing - to confirm do a error code check: Checking error codes VR/VS (Revised)

    Didn't come up with a matching code but read somewhere else to try putting cool water on the sensor to test. Cheers for that.

    yes when it is hot and won't start tip some cold water on the sensor and if it starts change the CAS. This happened to my VN once I put in a new CAS it never played up again.
