    I installed an aftermarket remote starter on a manual transmission truck when they first came out. I had to disable the neutral safety switch to make it work. A friend drove the car and parked it in gear. The next morning I hit the remote start button and the car started and drove right through my garage.

      As for his channel, soon as it pops up on my feed (if that even happens at all) he will be blocked one way or another. I will find the way to do so.
      Since speaking of blocking for some idiotic reason YT (Google) thinks it's smart idea to remove block / ignore function from us, that we had for years up until now ....

      "good story" "bad luck but good outcome" a good story or anything remotely good as a general rule doesn't involve your car breaking down, you wasting time and money for stupid things and complicating things collectively wasting time of your life and life is short. Something I guess these tryhard hipsters is typical of them to not realize and will never learn from anything ...

    Lol. I was with my family on vacation on the road to Greece. We lived the same experience in Macedonia, our crankshaft sensor failed, and the motor stopped (VW Passat- maybe the same sensor). We managed to restart the engine with starting spray, and reach the destination in Halkidiki. When we returned home after driving 1000 km, the sensor 'died' in front of our home. Nice sensations... All the best, nice content.

    My Dad had that problem with a 4.0l I-6 Jeep Cherokee, it was in a difficult spot, but didn’t have to dig into the truck to replace it. He also had a bad Neutral Safety Switch, which he eventually bypassed with a toggle wired under the dash since it wasn’t worth the $250 US it would have cost to replace at the time. It started the truck until we scrapped it due to Midwestern rust.

    Joys of driving old and/or modified stuff!
    We had the reverse, getting stuck in the UK. Brits living in Switzerland - Swiss car. Drove home in Feb to see friends/family. Crank sensor went as we arrived at hotel in Norwich on the first night. Car would run until warm, then shut off. 1998 Merc c43 estate, nothing that turns heads like a lambo :) Bought a new crank sensor. Pig of a job down the back of the engine. Old one out, new one didn't fit. Seems Swiss or maybe EU cars are slightly different. The next day whilst trying to cross reference, then source the part (turned out it was the same part as a bloody '98 Smart car!), my wife fell over in the hotel shower and dislocated her knee. Proper nasty with leg pointing the wrong way. Eugh!
    Hardly saw anyone that week, incapacitated wife and broken car. We were also relieved to be back on that ferry!

    I should have guessed the crank sensor! That's what it always is, doesn't matter if it's a Jeep or Mercedes or a Ferrari or apparently a Lamborghini that intermittent no start, generally tends to act up when it's warm those are typical symptoms of a crank position sensor. And usually it's best to replace the cam sensor when you replace a crank sensor if it has a cam sensor.

    You know since RUclips I've watched a lot of car videos. I'm starting to think just about all supercars/hypercars/fighter jets or whatever they call them are junk. I don't care if it's hand built by one person that they keep locked in the factory. The Europeans make fun of every American car but at least I can drive it 100 miles without having it catch on fire and having to have a 250k service done anytime you drive it. I'm sorry but all they are is eye candy. I've seen old rednecks modify American cars and I bet you'll have more fun in that than owning any European muscle car I'll just call them. The only kinda supercar I'd ever own is the R34 Skyline. They're just junk. Going 240 mph does nothing for me. I've been over 200 in a few things put together in a shed. Have at it guys though I'll stick with my Evo 10. Never had any trouble out of it.
