Engine won't start
The brains trust,
I need your help. My car will not start.
2003 T30 Xtrail - 179,000Kms, manual, stock everywhere else.
Symptoms - In past 6 weeks, car has not started 3-4 times whilst out and about. Waited a few minutes then started. However on Tuesday just gone it didn't start at all and hasn't since.
Testing - thought it was a battery issue so just changed it on spec,(had car 12months and unsure of battery age anyway). Changed out spark plugs because they were looking a little average anyway. Car is getting enough fuel as plugs are wet (but not too much). After researching here, checked ECU code and found P0335 - Crank angle sensor. Changed that out for a new one (new one has metal sensor barrel and plug rotated 180deg - genuine nissan). Nil start. Swapped out Camshaft sensor with removed Crank angle sensor, nil start. ECU reset and cleared code and still nothing yet.
Need your advice please - help. At the stage of taking it to an auto elec in town and fear getting ripped off. Too many dodgy mechanics have stuffed me around previously with other cars and crap diagnosis / $$$$.
Cheers

Re:
Both sensors need to be changed in your case (not just one).

Re:
Is it cranking at start-up at all or completely silent and dead?

Re:
Sounds promising but too simple a fix.
Fingers crossed.
The scan gauges will only tell you what the error code is not any other information unfortunayely.
Not sure what Nissan ones do.
