More than likely, you have an issue with the crank shaft position sensor.

Basically, we need to remove it and inspect it, but I would suggest starting with this testing to see if you can confirm this prior to removing it.

Here is a guide that talks more about this:

However, below is the testing from the manual that we need to run through to find out for sure that this is a crank sensor.

Please let us know what questions you have on this. Thanks

Hi Kasekenny, thank you for your feedback, we did find the problem, it was the module inside the distributor that was faulty.
