Re: Mystery why it won't restart

Started the car, ran it around the neighborhood, parked in driveway to let it reach normal temp, then shut it off. Got all my stuff ready, put raised pads in front of front wheels to drive up so I could get under and when I tried to restart the car it just cranked but would not start. Tried a couple times, no results. All idiot light perform as normal. Can hear fuel pump engage. Cranks vigorously, but will not start. Disconnected battery, let it sit for a while, reconnected and still no start. Anyone have any ideas? I have two RCMs, one new and one rebuilt with the "so horny" mod, both worked fine before this happened, makes no difference which one is in now, still won't start. Anyone have any ideas why it would decide not to start after just running fine? I'm developing a love/hate relationship with this vehicle. Think its time to get a different toy!
Crank with no start is typically a Crank Position Sensor (CPS)
