im running mega squirt
doesnt do it all the time sometimes may take few days some times 3 or 4 times aday ive been told it could be crank sensor as it feeds a pulse to the ecu surley if it was flooding i could keep it alive and if it was fuel it wouldnt start straight away ?

hi all this maybe an easy one to solve but need a second opinion

right what happens is
when i start the car when it's cold fine bit jumpy on the revs but runs ok but once i head off and it gets warm i would pull up at the lights or in traffic and after about 30 seconds the rev's die a bit down to about 950 then it wants to totally cut out like a mis fire if i try to keep the rev's up it just dies even quicker no matter what i do it will cut out but if i turn it over straight away i get a big back fire stuggels abit then will start and idle fine

if no cars around and it cut's out i leave for about a minute and it starts straight away no back fire
ive been told CRANK SENSOR or THROTTLE SWITCH
isint afm as i aint got one no more had it removed and not ecu as had that changed

has anyone had a crank sensor go before not the cam sensor want to no what it does when a crank sensor is broke

THANKS ALL
