    Angry 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 before it just shuts down again. it will also shut down strate away if put under any load (put in gear or even slightly touching the accelerator). I can then wait for about 20-30 minnets and it will start perfectly just to repeat the hole thing again.
    there are no fault codes coming up and I have replaced the ignition packs crank angel sensor and fuel filter all have had no affect.
    I can hear the fuel pump working.
    also the engine fan seems to be coming on all the time as well
    PLEZZZZZ HELP before I burn the bloody thing to the ground!!!!!!!
    any sugestions would be gratfully appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Stupid question but you haven't got a "second" fuel filter that could be choked have you. Is there a filter on the pickup in the tank. Is there anything floating around in the tank that can block the pickup. Have you disconnected the fuel line at the engine to see if you have a full fuel flow coming through. Just some thinks to consider, hope you get it fixed mate, that would be a pain in the butt!

    Cheers.................Pete!

    yeah if you are the type that tends to run your fuel very low all the time then there is a bag in the fuel tank that can get filled up with all the crape from the bottom of the fuel tank and block it causing it to do what it is doing.
