Re: Car won’t start after turning off engine
Yes , items like the CPS , ABS and Hall Effect sensors generate tiny little pulses of electrical current . Dirty or loose connections are as bad as a broken wire.
A missing pulse can e enough to stop the whole system.

Re: Car won’t start after turning off engine
Bit of Ju-Ju magic going on there.
The active pulse generated by the CPS only occurs at a time set by the gaps/magnets.
Once clean and hard contact, the connections will be fine.

Re: Radiator cap
Forgot to say , everyone.
Always smear a trace of silicone grease on the rubber gasket before twisting it down AND
make sure the metal seat is really smooth too.
That is what tears the gasket when you undo the cap
It's the detail, that matters.

Re: Radiator cap
All you need is a small piece of Viton sheet , 1mm thick,
Pull that perished bit of rubber washer off the cap.
Make new one out of your viton sheet.
Make the centre hole little bit smaller than that centre cap , so that you have to stretch it to fit under it
Jo done.
