Title: Struggles to Start...
Post by: jordan681 on 30 May 2010, 13:00:13

This problem is starting to worry me, Am driving a 2000 (facelift) 3.0 MV6, most times when i got to start my beauty up it will turn over but won't fire.. sometimes if i leave it of a couple of mins it'll fire (but with a struggle) but there are other embarrasing times where i have to get a Bump start...

Am stumped and really would like some help....

Could be a failing crank sensor. Have you `clipped it for any codes :question

Change crank sensor asap otherwise when it gives up you`ll be left stranded. Only use genuine.
