[smoken_VS]

Help me my vn needs suggestions it happened yesterday and now my car will only make it 10kms before it dies and stops and wont restart...any sugestions VN 1990 berlina V6

[smoken_VS]

starts and runs now but i dont know how long it will last for before it dies

[smoken_VS]

ok i will try Crank angle sensor tommorrow

[Pub247]

almost garuanteed to be crank angle sensor

When it happens pour some water over your CAS, usually that will get you started again (unless its completely stuffed lol)

But I'd say cas aswell

[smoken_VS]

i could run the window washer water onto the crank angle sensor every 10 mins or so press the window washer pump

[Pub247]

the old water trick aint likely to work all the time sometimes it worked on my old wagon sometimes it wouldnt. Easier just to replace sensor and no more worries

i had the same prob in me series 1 vn it was the coil pack on its way out (caused from the fan not kikn in witch was maken the engine run hot) put a series 2 coilpack on it and it wen like new lol

[gone_nutz13]

I second bwenny, i had the exact same problem, i replaced the C.A.S but it still didn't fix it, as soon as i changed the coil, no more problems.

Both items could probably do with a change anyways

i have the exact same problem but have changed both coil pack and cas it will start for 30 seconds then wont start for a hour ??????

Left field long shot here, but is it possible the anti-theft (if fitted), is causing this? The time periods for the fault seem to be far too regular, for it to be an intermittent or random fault.

[hi_ryder]

with a vp the anti theft only effects the fuel pump. the dash should blink press remote. if it dosent maybe the globe is blown. if you think this is the problem all you have to do is listen for the fuel pump when you turn to key into the reds. otherwise its the CAS.
