Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Crank sensor

« on: 25 July 2009, 09:47:19 »

Good morning all
I have an R reg 2.5 v6 Auto, I've had this problem where occaisionally the engine wont fire up after I've driven around and the engine is warm....i leave it for 10 mins to cool down and it works fine...Until this morning  where it wouldn't start at all...breakdown guy told my there is no spark and its probably a crank sensor....anyone know where that is and probable cost.

Cheers guys

Jim (SE London)

every now and again i'd have a problem starting but it would fire up after a few goes...then it would be fine for weeks this has probably gone on for about 6 months or so  :-/

Waiting till tomorrow isnt a problem the problem is knowing what is actually wrong i'm guessing a crank sensor isnt cheap is it  common for them to fail.

I checked again and i still got 55 followed by 4 quick flashes the reason i done test in first place is because i've broken down in kent and greenflag cant get me going reckons it might be a crank sensor would that be the 31 fault code
