Please read the forum guidelines re posting. All caps is considered shouting and is notoriously hard to read. As for the EML, not neccessarily. What codes did you get?

ecus are very reliable.  EML should come on and stay on until engine starts.

That sounds like a faulty crank sensor and will throw up a code 19

if you have already changed the crank sensor? have you fitted a genuine vauxhall one??? The ECU doesnt seem to like aftermarket sensors vey much!
speaking from first hand experiance!
