started the saph up today got up the road and when getting to 4rpm it was cutting out but then picking back up it sounded as though it was dropping a cylinder. I parked up to do some shopping and when o went to start it FUCK All . It winds over OK but will not fire, end result home on a break down truck.
Can anyone offer some advice please ??????????

I think one or more of your spark plugs is bad. I had the same thing happen to me.

what and where is the crank pick up and what do i check on it Thanks

CraigN

it is at the front of the engine at the bottom, it mounts on the sump and points at the crank pulley try cleaning it check the wire too

My crank sensor went recently too. It would start but died off pretty much straight away.
I sprayed some contact cleaner on the sensor and it started straight after.
You can find it by lying under the front of the car, then look straight up but on the passenger side of the engine. It hasa cream coloured wire going to it

didn't fill it up with diesel did you?

Dean Saff

All sorted is it now mate...

I remember when this happened to me once I thought the worst as it keept backfiring when I tried to rev it, Black smoke ect. so happy when it turnt out to be the pick up....
