Hi Ian.

It seems that something that has been changed has either gone faulty or it is another fault to add to the list.

It would be prudent to rescan the vehicle after clearing the fault code memory and also to measure components through a scan tool. e.g. if it has a spark and / or fuel injection is pulsing then it can't be a crank sensor issue.

Let us know how its going
