Mechanic's tip
A failing crankshaft sensor can cause an intermittent no-start — the car might start fine when cold but refuse to restart when hot. Always read the specific fault code before replacing; P0335 and P0336 point directly to this sensor. Location varies widely by engine — some are easy bolt-on jobs, others require moving other components.
