Reply With QuoteI can only think of crank angle sensor.
AT REST
I am stuck (off the middle of a peak hour intersection now thank god)! Rangie was idling away nicely at a red light then just died! Won't start. I have plenty of power - the car has no signs of problem cranking, just won't fire.
Faultmate shows no fault codes.
Any ideas?
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comI can only think of crank angle sensor.

SubscriberGiven that it just "died" while idling, but cranks over OK without starting ...my first thought is fuel ... dead pump?
Check relays/fuses for petrol pump... listed in the driver's handbook (do you have it there? )

Cheers fellas! I checked the fuses and they are all ok. I even swapped a few relays over just in case!
Fuel pump or crank angle sensor eh... Will plug the laptop in and see what it shows while cranking. I can at least check the fuel pump that way too!
How's this for a bad day - tomorrow is my birthday! Today out D-max battery died, so we took the Rangie and now this haha! Lucky for me I was within a km of home (and on the way home).
Things don't just happen randomly at my house, when one car is sick it passes it on to the other!

Oh, and did I mention I'm on holidays too!

Symptoms are the same - stopped dead. No spluttering or anything. Had been driven approx. 50km today. I have no fuel smell, never been able to hear the pump running the whole time I've owned the Rangie. Very quiet pump.
I just went to the garage and it started without hesitation. The car is still 'warm' and was not what I would say 'hot' to begin with - normal conditions, it had seen much hotter days than this.
One thing I will mention, every time I drive this particular hill at my fav camp spot the engine hesitates (loses power but does not stop) at the exact same point on the hill every time I drive the hill. It is not a massively severe hill - it drives much steeper climbs with no dramas, and the fuel level is over half a tank each time I drive the hill...
Could the two be linked?

Crank sensor is behind the crank pulley yeah? The one that generally cops anything oily or muddy?
Maybe I should give the engine bay a bath and give the sensor contacts a birthday?

Happy birthday for tomorrow. Sounds very much like the fuel pump is on its last legs. Same thing happened to me although I was cruising at 100kph a long way from home towing a trailer up a very long hill. After 15 mins by the side of the road it just started again. Had one other no start a while after which was cured by wacking the underside of the fuel tank. No more dramas after fitting new pump
