More to the point, why did this idiot think of a poll instead of just asking a question.

Its the 1st time he has used this forum :rolleyes:
give the guy a break.
anyway to the point,
It's common for the crank sensor to go dodgy. check the wiring on it, they tend to get brittle over time and could break & touch each other. what you could also do is take a coil pack from a running engine and swap them over (they about £50-£60 new) the brand name is bosch
