[V8] no start

[John Bucciarelli]

It sounds  symptomatic of a Crank position sensor, mine did the same thing 
and  once replaced, it worked fine, I have been told that it can be cooled 
by pouring cool water over the sensor base, just didn't try it. I purchased 
mine from http://www.autobahn-performance.com/ and paid $125.00 for it if I 
remember right, it is a Bosch part. They can be accesed by using a long 1/4 
inch extension , I think mine is at least 1 foot long,with a wobble you can 
get a straight shot by going between the subframe and the suspension. 2 
bolts and the bracket that the sensors bolt too will come out at that time. 
The whole operation took about an hour. I hope this helps, Have a great day.
