My car will run fine and turn over most of the time,but I will arrive to my destination and go to start my car when i return and it winds over but does not start. I could leave it for 1hour or 9hours when it does not start.. But when i go back to pick it up the next day it starts straight away. I have just had a mager service and got the fuel filter changed but it still has not helped. I was told to poor cold water over the Angle sensor and this would help but it still would not start. Can you please give me some direction?

Hi there,

This will more than likely be a faulty crank angle sensor, you should get a scan done as this will pick up a faulty sensor with a fault code, start here.
