Re: Dead as a Dodo!

My guess would be one of the two Crank Angle Sensors.

I believe that if the second sensor (or the cam angle sensor) fails, the engine will still start, but if the first one fails, the engine will not start or run.

Thankfully, the sensors are easy to get at - both Crank Angle Sensors are mounted just above and behind the crank pulley.

You may be able to switch the sensors to see if the engine will then start - but I am not sure if the Crank Angle Sensors are interchangeable.

Jason.
