Gday guys
I have a 95 Vs series 1,
the crank angle sensor went recently I had it replaced and it went again 4 days later.
Im just wondering if it is an on going problem once it goes the first time?
any info would be greatly appreciated.

Did you replace it with a brand new unit? If not, then most likely that is the problem.

If the unit was new, then there is a high chance that the interrupter blades on the back of the harmonic balancer have damaged the sensor, so I'd be checking out the back of the balancer to see if anything is amiss.

Did you remove the balancer to fit the new one (if it was new)
If it was new then you may have a short in the wiring somewhere, have you checked the fault codes.
