The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance.

My vehicle would start and was able to drive about 1/2 mile before I lost engine power. The vehicle would not start until the engine cooled. I paid $338.00 to have a diagnosis on the vehicle and replacing the crankshaft position sensor.
