okay here goe's, disconect crank sensor wire, could be two wire/terminal or three. multimeter set on volts ac, asumming that you are probing the sensor get some one to crank engine you should get at least .5 ac volts rising, next test, meter set at ohms resistance if two pin sensor aprrox 12.7 ohms should get same for the three pin but there is a slight difference the third wire is a screen wire and there should be open circut between terminal 1/2 and 2/3 but resistance through 1+3 . this figure is only a ball park figure as i have said i can't find the exact figure. what is the problem exactly , what makes you think the fault is the sensor. let me know how you get on ! ! !

Thanks for the replies topbloke! I think it's the CPS because my Gal keeps on breaking down. There is no spark and it is not the coil pack i have had that recently replaced. When it breaks down I hear 5 beeps when i try to restart it. When i disconnect the CPS plug it does the same beep five times even when you turn the key, not to the start position! What do you think?

 

P.S Oh yes! thanks for the resistances

when does this happen, prior to starting engine ? engine starts then stops ? engine runs turn of then no restart ? engine hot/cold? how long before restart set time ie 5 mins, an inderterminate time, where does the beep come from ? does the light in door flash at same time ? dont know how easy it is to get at injectors but when spark goes worth check to see if power at injector normaly has live feed with ignition on but some only live when cranking the ecu switches the other wire on and off if you get live and earth switching the it won't be cranksensor to test earth switcing you need a test probe with l e d in. clip probe wire to live and probe into injector plug then crank should pulse on and of . final question what area of countrie are you in

Have you checked fuel pump relay? Several have reported this to be a common fault for intermittent running.
