    have you done a diagnostic on the car yet its simple to do your self and by the sounds of it its electrical not fuel so that should give you a ruff idea

    heres how Checking your Computer for Faults (VN - VP)

    and heres the error codes Just Commodores - For All Your Holden Commodore Needs

    let us know what codes you come up with

    i had a similar problem. It ended up being that huge plug that plugs into the DFI module (under the ignition coils)

    Grab a socket set, unbolt the connectors, blow out all the gunk in it, spray some WD-40 in it, plug it in and out a few times, then blow it out once more (to get rid of all that newly loosened junk) and spray again.

    Might also be your Crank Angle Sensor (CAS). Unless you have a pulley to take of your harmonic balancer, you wont be able to change it yourself. I got mine changed at the local auto electrician for $150
