Crank sensor can fail when it gets warm, won't restart, leave 10 minutes to cool, then it will be fine, sometimes for minutes, sometimes days before it cuts out again. Replace it with an OE one!

And fuel relay is clicking on/off because the ECU keeps cutting out the fuel pump when it loses the crank sensor signal.

If its not your crank sensor I will eat my hat.

What you are saying makes perfect sense sir , this cheap and nasty sensor has probably gone duff in a matter of minutes !

Listen to what this good man is saying.

My car had exaclty the same symptoms, it was crankshaft sensor. after looking at video, i'm 110% sure it is that

It does actually say Delphi on left hand side of screen under where you put your cars reg no. .Like i've said before if you can afford a Bosch one then get that,but as your on a budget this should be ok.

Ahhh yess i did not see that ,Thanks .

My budget is rather low , trying to save the pennys and not alot of work due to weather . There is a cheaper sensor on Ecp but has no brand name in the box like the Delphi. But i shall plunge and get the best i can afford which is the Delphi .

Thanks for help and i shall return with results once i have fitted new sensor . Thanks
