    Is the security light flashing when you try to start it? Are you using the same ECU?

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    46 is Crank Angle Sensor (engine will not start). Since you have replaced the CAS it might be a bad connection or the DFI module.

    Here you go - it relates to a VX question, but a simple search gives this:

    help with code 46

    Good luck!!!
