Hi All

Been on and off for about 4 months, most the time it starts fine, but recently got worse..to the point where its not starting at all now, it turns over fine and fitted a new battery about 2 wks ago..but doesnt want to fire up?!

Any thoughts grately appreciated

First thing to do is the "paperclip test"

Then post up the results.

My instant guess is probably a crank sensor ... but lets see what codes you get.. :)

BTW .. Welcome to OOF  :)

Ok thanks for the info, forgot to mention it had a crank shaft sensor about 4 months back.

Will give the paperclip test a go and see what happens.

Thanks Entwood

Was it genuine? If so what part number was it, there appears to be couple of types for the 2.5, as Debs found out if you get the wrong one they don't last very long!
