VL Overheating and cutting out

[PANN1C VL]

Hey all. My VL commodore seems to only cut out when it gets hot. It gets to about 100 degrees and then it dies. After about 20 minutes or so it starts up fine and will drive for about another 10 minutes then die again. Is it possible for a fuel pump to be "half ****ed" or would that be a thermostat problem? Please help as this has been giving me grief for awhile and coming up to summer want the problem fixed before that. Thanks.

crank angle sensor.....
few people had problem simular, car runs fine but once it get to temp splutters and dies, let cool its fine then when warm again it dies.

try the cas first as it seem all to simular too a few other cases

fit a new thermostat in case its not opening properly temp shouldnt go that high
you can check old one by gradually warming it in a saucepan of water on stove, but dont drop it into very hot water or it usually breaks

I agree with both guys theres a few possibilities are the guys started above

crank angle sensor
thermostat

also check your cooling fluid, alot of people these days just throw in water from the tap, if that's so it could be boiling and causing your car to overheat.

If you check the service manual (not the standard book that comes with your car)

i think the car has a sensor for sensing overheating and will cut it's self to prevent further damage.

If you have checked all of the above and everything is fine, then check the comp.

Do a search on the forum there is a stop by step guide in how to play with the comp

also check for a damaged radiator.

Just a few logical ideas
