When running check output from alternator.

Could be trying to run off dead battery.

if you try to start on the key, battery light flashes, and engine management light is on??????

crank sensor is favourite for this type of problem, best to see if any fault codes have been logged first to give you a clue
dont fit anything other than oem or equivalent with management sensors
