4X4 or 2wd bud

my first thought would be crank sensor or ignition module

I recently had a sticky/stuck in the end relay that left the engine running even with the key out, maybe you have a relay sticking in the off position?

4x4 what's the best way to check things want to get a lust so I can crack on tomoz if possible

Well have you noticed the rev counter jumping ?

I would check the crank sensor and also the connector blocks on the bulk head the cennter one has the crank sensor going through it so check there all clean and connecting

When I first bought my cossie I could go for a drive and it would cut out. It would crank and crank and wouldnt start. I could get the car towed home then it would start again. I changed the fuel filter and it been spot on for the past 7 years.

The software is ok, alittle slow to respond. But the USB cables are terrible. Ive had 2 give up on me after only being used twice. So if you have a laptop with a RS232 port

I got a del 610 on xp with a serial port for the job

My first laptop had a pcmcia slot where i used a rs232 ( serial ) converter. Worked fine. Unfortunatly the new latop didnt have anything like that so had to used one of the USB converter cables. and pop they both went @ Ł100 a time.

The dell cost me Ł80 refurbed off eBay works great with the older type based software I just use that for all the car stuff
