    Will Santa fix my Rangie if I'm a good boy?

    Well, I seriously doubt it, so I'd like to draw in the collective wisdom in this site.
    Recently the car was stalling when hot and restarting when cold - changed the crank position sensor and all good - until today. The car will not start at all, just turns over - same symptom as before, just the engine is not hot. Unfortunately I do not yet have a Faultmate, so I can't check it out. Could the replacement CPS be faulty? Perhaps some other dirty sensor?

    Good luck...

    If by chance Santa does come and fix it, send him around to my place when he's finished please.

    1 way is ...if you kept the old CPS .... reinstall it and see if it fires up ...

    Ahhhh.... P38 forum!! Damn you Tapatalk!!
    Thought I was in the Classic section! Misread the header.

    CPS is a hall sensor, you can kind of physically check it with a multimeter and magnet but a cro (oscilliscope) with it cranked insitu will generally give you an idea of its condition.
    I wouldn't think its the problem tho as CPS will usually result in misfires rather than complete shutdown.
    Shutting down when hot is usually a sign of open circuit in the pump.
    Check the Malpassi regulator while you have it out too.

    The more I think about it, the more I think it has to do with the fuel pump. The car has done 165k which is the lifespan of the pump, the exact same thing happened on my RRC. I'm going to check the fuel pressure tomorrow, can anyone tell me where the fuel valve is licated pls?

    I'm taking a punt based on the D1 + fuel rail ..... LH side of fuel rail has a (Tyre) Valve? ....

    Remove valve with a tyre valve tool
    Slip a length of 6mm? hose over valve body and hang the other end into a bucket
    Turn key on and check the fuel flow


    Possible alternatives .......
    Remove the fuel pump and go to Repco and see if a VN commodore fits ... or a bosch universal fuel pump kit

    Don't know if the above info is correct for a p38 ... but at least it will be a start point



    Basic check of Spark system .....
    Find a spare spark plug (anything will do)
    Remove a spark lead
    Install to spare spark plug and lay it (earth it) on the side of the motor / manifold
    Have someone wind the motor over
    Does it sparks up? .... if yes .... CPS is OK


    Cheers
    Mike
