Been a while since i posted on here so hello again. As the title says was on the highway the other day and the engine just lost all power and died, i had noticed a slight misfire a few days leading up to this but only on tick over. tried restarting but with no joy, battery fine and alternator charging it so its got power. any ideas guys. A good friend who has looked it over and he seems to think crank sensor which prced at around 140 i think. any help would be great and if anyone knows of a second hand sensor let me know

thanks again

 

Welcome back
I'd guess the CEL light came on?
If so pull the codes that will give you a head start!
Long shot but - check the fuel pump and ignition fuses

 

Was the CEL light on / flashing? Seems odd for it to just die.

Has it got oil and coolant in it?

I presume you were in the USA? Highway Sorry, couldn't resist!

 

light was flashing on and off

 

like the others have said buy or borrow a code reader for start.

 

That's not a good sign
You really need to pull the code from the OBD port

 

Or take it to a dealer if you don't know how to do that.

 

Where you located i could read the code for you?

I'm located in the lakes.

As the others say a flashing CEL light is not good, it could be a number of thing did it just die or go with a bang?, any visual damage to engine?

 

no visual damage, no idea of this code reader. im based in the midlands so if anyone is local and can help? no bang, it just lost all power and then cut out.??????

 

I have a code reader and i live in the midlands, where abouts are you?
