    crank angle sensor is rooted replace with new one from holden don`t buy a cheap one.
    common fault with VS mate.
    I had no error codes but replaced it about 2yrs ago all good.
    Mine cut out at 60k/hr I was lucky got it started on the go not fun I tell you.
    One test is when it cuts out throw cold water on the sensor should start straight away.

    Depends what you mean by "won't start". Does the engine turn over but won't start, or does the engine not turn over at all?
