probably gunna need some more info man...
like does it crank at all? or nothin happens when you turn the key..
does the fuel pump "wirrr" when you try start it?
do accessories work? cd player,lights..etc.
what happened exactly...did it stall and then not start?
the more info you can give us the better we can try and help you track the problem down mate.

yep crank angle sensor. if the car cranks over but's not starting it's usually fuel pump or CAS. but bad pumps usually don't start, but keep on ticking once they are. so if the car is dying while driving and won't start for a while get you CAS done first

until you get it fixed, if the car dies while driving pour cold water onto the CAS, should get you where your goin ;)

if your wondering....it's located just to the right of the harmonic balancer & is just behind it.

That seems to be such a common problem with the vs, i had mine fixed the other day. One of the local wreckers even said he has a vs, put a brand new one in and it lasted 12 months
