    hey guys just wondering a few things, my vs ute decided to **** itself and wont start but is turning over, got brand new spark plugs, spark plugs leads, coil packs, lot of people have been sayin it will be my CAS, just wondering if its hard to change over, i rang a mechanic that will drive to me for 150$ to change it, plus i have to buy the part for 55$.

    Had a mate tell me to pour water over the sensor and try to start it, which it just about did kick over!

    is this defintly gonna be my problem and will i need to get a new harmonic balancer aswell?

    If you're still not getting a spark it is most likely your CAS.
    Before you replace it check the wiring loom going to the DFI is nice and tight and every one of the pins is snug.

    Just do a code check yourself, look in the How To section and there is a write up there on how to do it.

    My money is on the CAS too.
