Leads you just need a 10mm socket, I believe, to take off the valve cover, if you still have it on. After that you can unplug them by hand.

Plugs you need a 16mm deep socket (don't think a normal sized socket will fit on the plug), and an extension for the ratchet to get down to the plug, about 8 inches or so.

Problem still there. Now waiting the leads to come. I've ordered some CHAMPION (CH4610) leads may be able to pick it up sometime today or tomorrow. plugs I got NGK.

One thing I found is that the problem seems related to the temperture. It starts ok when hot (mid-day) and fail at night when it's cold.

Plugs and leads has been changed. Problem still there. Is it worth to change the crank angle sensor as some suggested or any idea what to test next? getting very frustrated and thinking about to send the car to dealer.
does anybody have photo to show me where crank angle sensor is?

Thanks to those who has contribute to this topic. Finally resolved the problem. It wasn't the crank sensor, nither is the plugs & leads nor fuel pump (I know this is a costly execise). It is because the faulty immobilizer. It was not working since day 1 and suddenly it's working intermittently. Now the immobilizer has been disconnected and everything is working perfect again. Also I would like to thanks the site admin as well. thanks.

^ It's good that you finally got it sorted out but it sucks that you had to replace everything before actually finding the cause of the problem sad.gif

Well... at least everything on your car is new now wink1.gif
