Hi, i have a problem with my car today. The car died while running on the road and cant be started afterwards. But after about 15 minutes the car can be started again and the engine running fine. The problem have occured 2 times before and all can be started after 15 minutes. I think the temperature is fine before the sudden death.

When i tried to start to start the engine, the car did try to turn over (heard the cranking sound). I thinks the battery fine to since all the lights and signal running just fine. Any pros here might know what the problem is?.

thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, you will find that your problem is the crank position sensor. had the same problem, when the engine heats up the sensor stops working.
