If you have no luck locally, I can recommend emailing Wayne at Pro-Tune here in New Zealand, he has worked on and tuned literally tens of thousands of GMH V8 product is renowned in the LS world. He studied in America and does maps for cars all over the world, including Australia so that says something.

I only recommend him because I know he is a hell of a nice guy, very knowledgeable and passionate and a hell of a peddler in a Rally car.

Thanks for responding KIWIRS, I am going to persevere here with some more research and getting my head around the Tech2Win tool, hopefully get the problem solved, and will keep your advice in mind, cheers.

Have you connected the candi module to the tech2 as you'll need too on a small boot VZ

New to the Tech2Win and learning as I go, as far as I can tell the software I'm using must emulate the CANdi Module as it shows the module present on start-up will keep playing with it and see how I get on.

1st thing I noticed when I first tried to start her up was that I didn't hear the fuel pump prime the system,

Tried swapping the fuel pump relay with the one next to it ? Think its headlamp or fan. I did have a fuel pump relay fail years ago.

Swapped the relays over with Hi Beam and tested, they seem fine.

Bet you’ve snagged the crank sensor

Any progress on this OP?
Its important to conclude threads like this to help others in the future keep these rare cars going.

Hi Lincsls1,

Currently finding it difficult to get time in the garage due to work and family commitments, I am currently looking at the possibility that the crank position sensor or its wiring loom have been disturbed whilst refitting the starter motor, so the car will be going back up on the axle stands for a closer look at he sensor and wiring.

will keep the post updated as go, may be a slow process though.

Secret lemonade, thanks for the suggestion, looks like you could be on to something, will be putting the car back up on the axle stands for an inspection of the Crank Sensor and wiring. When you say "snagged the crank sensor" are you speaking from experience ? if you are, what issue did you find, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. When I ran the Tech2win software initially a DTC showed for the crank sensor, that was the only DTC showing, I cleared the code and since then have cranked the engine over and the same code has shown again.

No because I’m careful (he says with a whistling vacuum on the mini)

It’s just everything you suggest pinpoints to this

I do try to be careful, I can't see any damage to the sensor itself, so now looking to test the cabling.
