Richard / Andy Sorry for the slow response. I must have a profile problem because I never get notified of postings. The damage was $290, including $165 for the part. Cheers... Jeff.

Thanks Richard Well, the diagnosis is a dead (or at least very sick) Crank Angle Sensor. My Auto Sparky did a great job. It took someone with all the right diagnostic gear, which is defintely not me. It now behaves like it should - like one of the best motors in the world! Cheers... Jeff.

Richard, did you find the problem. My car started doing the same thing two days ago. Under load, it would suddenly cut the ignition but then come good again. I can drive it forever on a light throttle and it doesn't happen, but accelerate or climb a hill and it gives these almighty coughs. It's too savage to be a fuel problem, and too savage even for just one HT lead or plug. It's a total (but momentary) ignition cut. It may not be the same as your problem, but it sure sounds suspiciously like it. Cheers, Jeff.

Hi Chris Have you got Cruise working yet? I'm wanting to fit it to my V35 and would love to know what parts to order (my car is a 2003 V35 6sp sedan). Is fitting then a professional task? Thanks in advance... Jeff.
