    Default VL cutting out after I give it some revs

    Hi,

    My son's VL starts and idles fine,and seems to rev OK and drive OK..but every now and then, either after giving it a rev or driving it hard, it cuts out. The engine then won't start for about three minutes, after which it starts and drives fine..

    I thought it was getting fuel starvation, and I have changed the low and high pressure fuel pumps. No good! Could it be that distributor module again? Or one of the fuel filters?

    Thanks

    Chris

    Thanks for that,

    I put one in a couple of years ago, so I guess it might be time for another one!

    Cheers..
