Thanks Dave

Where is the crank sensor? is it obvious? I assume it has an electrical connector of some sort on it that may be loose or or the wiring chaffed somewhere. also I will have a look at the underbonnet fusebox for loose connectors, etc.

Thanks
Dave

PS What does the crank sensor actually do once the engine is running? I understand the crank and cam sensors inform the ECU of the crank and cam positions for the timing, etc, for engine starting, but what do they actually do once the engine is running?
