THis one is really easy to fix.

Its one of the cams or the crank sensor, drop the car onto diagnostics, R1500 (guessing here) for a new sensor from the agents or cheaper elsewhere, and your on your way.

The sensor has gone completly, and its not giving you an intermittant fault which is tough as nails to diagnose.

Proper garage with a decent machine will have this sorted in minutes, but my money is on one of the cam sensors
