Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Omg, After 6 months of Messing about tryna fix my corsa b 1.2 sxi

Replaced the ecu
Ripped out the alarm system
And the immobilizer
Sending it to garages For Code reading

Today I Thought, I know ill Check out the crankshaft sensor
So i took it out, cleaned some of the crap rust of the magnetic part
Putting it back in, it was getting late so its not properly screwed in

Car started on the second turn! i was amazed,
Btw I noticed my car was Chugging a little but might be because its been sat still for 2 years
I topped up the water and stuff and made sure there is no leaks Temps were fine Everything was great

I was gonna leave it running for 15 mins to let it Settle in if you know what i meen?
Note: the Petral Was Halfway through the red line ;S
So after the 15 minuite mark Of it Running soo Smoothly
I noticed a drop in the engine sound
Then it stalled Right after

but it didnt sound like a stall It just Died. in a milisecond

Tried to start Fail, not firing just turning over like it used too
Try to start fail, same

Tried to start Successs
Revved a little
Left it, Died After 2 mins
Same Cut out :S

I thought it could be fuel
Went to station got £5 in a Can put it in tried to start fail

Do you think the Crankshaft sensor has worked loose again?
If you took it out while running would it just suddenly cut out?
Would the Crankshaft sensor kill the spark

ive tested everything on the car!!! Alarm,immo,Fuses,Cables,Plugs,Coilpack,Battery I was about to sell it in a few weeks
but Now im 99% sure its the crankshaft I meen,

Anyone got any Advice? Or Thoughts to share thanks

Im 15 (: And Was thinking about getting a Skyline for The track side of life in the future
But for now i would Appriciate It if We could stay on Topic

try getting a new crank shaft sensor i had same problem 20 pound on ebay mine would turn over and over but just would not fire

also if i did a journey and the engine got up to temp if i stopped go into shops come back out the engine wouldnt start so i had to wait like an hour or so until it had cooled down

get somebody to turn the engine over while you look at the injectors to see if fuel is coming out of them ??

sounds like it died from lack of petrol ? is the fuel pump kicking in ie can u hear it wen u turn key over to try and start it ? maybe immobi is kicking in?
