Land Rover Repair: 2009 Range Rover Sport

Question
Hello John.
I was reading a post from someone that you helped back in 2012. The problem is that my car just all of a sudden won't start. The auto crank kicks in and it sometimes barely starts and then dies immediately or will not start at all. I can hear what sounds like the fuel pump clicking under the hood and it seems like I can smell gas. I saw that you mentioned the crank sensor in that post. Do you think that is what I could be experiencing. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jay

Answer
If the truck "barely starts and dies" that response would rule out the crank sensor.  You really need to connect a scan tool, look for stored codes, and then look at the live data while cranking to see why the engine won't catch.  You should also be checking the basics - verify good fuel quality, and good fuel pressure at the motor.
