    Default VN cutting out while driving

    Hey guys, my 89 VN S-pac cuts out while driving.

    In more detail, while you are driving, it will cut out, it feels like someone pulls a plug out, then puts it back in. So while im driving it cuts out for a second or two, then kicks back in, then cuts out, then back in, it does it for a while, and eventually ill have to pull over. its sometimes worse and sometimes, not so bad.

    im so sure theres something wrong with the ignitions, because theres no spark. ive been told it is the crank angle sensor, but it mainly does it a few minutes after start up, sometimes it will do it 30mins after start up.
    i pulled the plug out of the crank angle sensor and put it bak in, it doesnt do it as much, but still does. anyone hav the same problem before?

    thanks in advance!! see ya!!

    First thing to check is the coils - that would be my first choice going on what every other VN/VP/VR/VS driver has done when displaying the same symptoms as you've discribed. Can be CAS - but that happens when the car gets hot and is more like no go untill cooled down.

    Can be ECU or a wire making bad contact.

    But I'd start with the coils. - see if you can swap it with a known good unit.

    If its a V6 its probably the coil pack, mine used to do what you said, coil would cut out from random reasons mainly just engine vibration and the car would stall, this will also ruin your starter motor from constant restarting it too
