I tried to start my car and it was very, very difficult to get started. Once started, the EPC light was on the dash and at idle it was now at about 1200 rpm's. I turned the car off again, Would not start, when tried again. I am told that this is a problem with the crankshaft position sensor. Could someone please help me out with this diagnosis ?

Hey Don,

This means there is a problem with one of the sensors or possibly an engine problem.
