I drove a distance of about 250km yesterday, and the car stalled thrice. I try to start, but the engine wouldn't start. I discovered that the radiator fans wouldn't respond when the key is on. It will then start after some minutes. What could be the problem?

This could be a number of things. First and foremost the crank sensor could be failing. However, we should check for codes and see if there are any there.

If there are no codes then when the engine is cranking, does the RPM gauge move at all? If it does not then this is a possible sign of a crank sensor issue.

Here are a few guides that run through this info for us to start with:

Let me know what you find or if there are codes and we can go from there. Thanks
