Spin over no start on the 112-113 engines will most likely always be the crankshaft position sensor, and very rarely the camshaft position sensor.

If the car actually dies while driving from a faulty crankshaft pos sensor then it will set a code, but if it just spins over and won't start, it won't set a code.

I carry them in my truck like candy and usually get breakdown calls from grocery stores late at night.

If you wait about 20-30 minutes it will ususally fire off fine again, but it will keep happening at random usually after the car is warm and sits for a short time after a quick jaunt or a fill up at a gas station, but will usually fire right up after it cools for a half hour.

Note to those of you with the 98-up v-6, v-8 motors, you should buy one and keep it in your glove box for a rainy day.

They are located at the rear of the engine, drivers side on the transmission bellhousing and are held in by a single female torx socket or "E" socket and they have one electrical connector going to them.
