Plezzz help me with my vp
i can run the car for about 2km then it will just stop! can start it again and get about 500m then it will just stop again. this time i can turn it on and it will idol for about 3-7 seconds befor it just shuts down again. it will also shut down strate away if put under any load (put in gear or even slightly tuching the exelerator). i can then wate for about 20-30 minnets and it will start perfectly just to repeet the hole thing again.
there are no folt codes coming up and i have replaced the ignition packs crank angel senser and fuel filter all have had no afect.
i can hear the fuel pump working.
allso the engin fan seems to be coming on all the time as well
PLEZZZZZ HELP befor i burn the bloody thing to the ground!!!!!!!
sounds like your crank angle sensor is ****ed. You haft to remove the harmonic balancer to replace it, Next time it doesn this, splash some cold water on it and if it starts again thats ya prob ( its just behind your harmonic balancer so pour water there )

yep sounds like the cas, either that or coil/dfi
sounds like the cas to me aswell but he said he replaced that already unless it was a dodgy one

Ive had fuel pumps die on me within a week so its possible, i didnt read that he replaced it.. one things for sure its an electrical component overheating and shutting down intermittently.

the car dies cos the cas gets too hot and stops working, you pour the water on it to cool it back down so you can start the car again

i recomend that you do the fault code test on the car as it just saved me alot of hassels and eneded up finding out that my crank angle sensor is stuffed.
the cas stuffed up on my vt and it didnt come up with an error code so it wasnt until i actually replaced it that i found out that was the problem

...hmmm sounds a bit like a fuel blockage could be causing this too, couldnt it (especailly the lack of power)? Maybe blocked in-line filter or the "sock" one on the fuel pickup inside the tank? The in-line one is cheap and easy to replace (its on the drivers side, near the back axle on the sedan). cheers. pete.
hmmm just reread the original post... scrap the bit about the in-line filter. might still be the sock but a bit doubtful....pete.
THANX HEEPS for all you sugestions!
changed the fuel pump this weekend . . . still the same problem
Almost not here!
Whats the fuel regulator like - still working OK - I dont know how to test them - but you could try replacing it with a know good regulator.

i was hoping you would say it fixed the problem changing the fuel pump as it sounds like you are having the same problem as me. I am keen to no if you have done the fault code test as it takes less than a minute to do and i want to no what codes come up on your car.
