Did you get the old rubber "O" ring out before fitting the new sensor with its new "O" ring?

You don't need to reset anything, you just remove the old sensor & "O" ring and fit the new one.

this one is supposed to be a genuine one say's made in italy on it il get one from the scrap yard tomoz and swap it over for the new one when the replacement arrives be fair not to hard to fit done 4 times just to check and running low on money spent £1750 on her in the last 6 weeks and only done 530 miles so far hopefully that will be it for a while :cry:

Why are you convinced it's the crank sensor that's the problem ?

well judging by the symptoms all seem to be pointing towards the crank shaft sensor cuts out when the car gets to operating temp then have to wait 20 mins for it to cool down then starts again and runs well but then cuts out when it gets warm again this is a fully recond engine but the sensors where off my old one. find out today just off to pick up a new sensor
