sounds like a crank sensor fault unless you have x20 engine in which could make it cam sensor fault
Got any codes?

He hasn't got any fault codes so I assume the EML wasn't on for long enough.

Check your wiring to the crank sensor before replacing it mate.
The route of the wire tends to run on the block and it can wear through or develop a break.
