Couple of issues trying to start recently and it may be the crank sensor. I've cleaned the connectors in the plug but noticed it sits a few mm away from the toothed wheel. The manual says it should sit 0.4-1.0mm from the teeth and too far will cause signal problems.
The book also says not to disturb the mounting plate as it's factory set re the angular displacement from the teeth etc. the sensor is fairly cheap to replace but I wondered how the spacing was adjusted since it seems to just sit in place with a fixed flange against the mounting plate.
Nothing seems to have moved.
Symptoms are occasionally car won't start (from hot or cold), just turns over with no spark. Leave 5 mins, try again, all works. No problem with misfiring or any stalling once it starts.
Any ideas team?
