Now on my fourth crank sensor ... I have the symptom of when I stop in trafiic in D the engine will just stop ... sometimes it will restart sometimes not ..the other day it refused to restart for 40 mins then was fine for 2 hours .....does this sound like another crank sensor to you and where can i get one cheaply?

Thanks

I think the good old pedal trick could be very helpfull

Only drive by wire v engines, 3.2 2.6 have that luxury.

Paper clip test on the 2.5 and 3.0.

But I would want to see the relevant code before replacing the relevant part.

Also to consider, pattern sensors are shite, GM only, and cleaning the icv may help at tick over speeds on non drive by wire cars, depending on the exact symptoms and codes present.

Certainly cleaning the icv won't do any harm at all.

methinks the clue may be in the question .... 

...... and where can i get one cheaply?

If the crank sensors you have already out on have been "cheap" . they have not been genuine VX ones .. so may be considered "rubbish"

Genuine only I'm afraid ..... and fitted as per the guide else you'll be changing them every few months ...

Has anyone got an idea how long on average a GM one will last. I've had the Elite about 14 months now, it must be a genuine GM one, I'm thinking about having a spare one to pre empt its failure.

Thanks

I last replaced my GM sensor about 9 months ago, the time before was probably 6 years before that (about a fortnight after I bought the car)
