    Default Question

    Hi this afternoon while driving back from the shops sitting at the intersection on idle the car decides to stall for no reason. Driving home from Redcliffe driving along casually, it nearly goes to stall and then the engine warning light comes on. Make it home and done a test and no faults came up. It is a Vp Series 2 manual and i have no idea why it is doing this. Any help much appreciated.

    Nope not that, just went to move it and the bloody thing stalled on me. Done a test, still came up 12. Don't really know what is going on with it?
