Minor starting problem Renault Scenic -99 (Gasoline)?

It could be the crank sencer that is the under lying cause and require a clean or renewal, a new one isnt cheap.so try cleaning first. ive had mine done twice second time was this morning took less than 15 min,s. soak a cloth in lube oil &use a small wire brush to clean the end then wipe with the cloth, and replace. the sencer is located to the right side below the air filter & tucked up behind the hoses, its bolted to the engine with two bolt,s

Change the TDC sensor, worked for me, Apparently quite a common problem on the scenics, The new sensor comes with a new loom and connector which you have to connect to the existing wires from the old one. The kit comes with a couple of wire connectors that have to be soldered to the cables. I used slightly different connectors to make it easier.
Reletively easy job if your a little mechanically minded.
