hi everyone. my mrs has a 97 vt which cranks but wont start. at first she would either swap a couple of the relay fuses around or lock the car with the remote on the key then un lock multiple times and most of the time eventually it would start . sometimes after doin this a couple of times but sometimes it could take hours. so firstly i had racv come out and he told me the battery was no good so to start there. we got a brand new battery and the car worked perfect for a few days then started doin what it was again. so i had them come again and he said it probably was the crank angle sensor. so i had lube mobile come and he said all signs pointed to that to so i got him to put a new one in. he did and then he informed it still wouldnt start...after payin him a fortune i was not impressed. then he told me he couldnt work it out so he would come back with someone else that specialised in these things. then they told me it was the dfi module and would cost me $675 to replace. so i thought i would test it myself so i took it out and checked all the engine coils with a multimeter and they read fine then i took the one out of my vx wagon and put the one from the vt in my vx and it started fine.. lucky i did this or i would of been down $675 for nothing.so its not the battery, cas or dfi module. and now im stumped and dont know where to go from here..can anyone help ??
