James827 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 When was it last serviced? and what was replaced?could be ignition system or fuel system. most likely ignition with a coil pack or Ht lead or maybe even plugs. seems to be common with these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grazo22 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Might be a loose imobiliser chip in the key if it starts then turns off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Might be a loose imobiliser chip in the key if it starts then turns offThe chip isnt supposed to be connected to anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The chip can come loose in the actual key though and rattle around. If it falls to one side of the key then the car might start then shut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 could be crankshaft position sensor on the gearbox though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
