HI there,

It is not uncommon for the crank shaft position sensor to fail, this is the primary source of infomation re the position of the pistons, etc so the ECU can fire the spark plugs, inject the fuel and so on, without this reference nothing will work and the engine will shut down. The mechanic can check the computer memory for a fault code that will be related to this or any other fault in the engine management system.
