Ignition module maybe? Easiest way to find out is trying another one. Or if ur handy with a soldering iron most are pretty easy to fix as it's probably just a dry solder.

cheers for help lads, got the machanic out to do a diagnostic and yep, the ignition module is farkt, new one on the way! cheers for help, mabey a turbo or supercharge kit on the cards next.

95% of the time when a car .... commodore 5.0l dies at the drop of a hat its to do with the ignition module, i even had similar probs with the ecotec

[braundog]

yeah she hasnt had any probs , so was a bit unxpected. new one getting put in tomoza. cheers

A dumb question, where on a VT 5ltr is the module?

Good to hear you got it sorted, thanx for sharing.

Coil usually follows the ignition module shortly after

Oh, and just for future reference, it's a 304, not a 308.
