    At a guess I'd say it's the Hall Effect sensor in the distributor - this does the same thing as the CAS in the V6. It could also be the coil or the ignition module. Clear all old codes by disconnecting the battery for 30 secs then check again for codes.
    Also check the key is making good contact with the key reader ring which is the ring thing around the ignition keyhole. Hope this helps.
    And welcome to the forum.

    I'd say it's your ignition module. Mine gave some warnings similar to yours before it failed altogether.

    is it cranking at all? or is it just dead when u turn the key? My car is cranking but wont start either . It's got a bosch aftermarket coil on it which was on when I bought it but maybe thats it? what else could it be?
