commodore problem
Hi there, i currently have a vs commodore with a problem as listed,
20minutes to the dot it will stop, sometimes restart straight up, sometimes affter a little while,
after it starts it will run fine. even in a 900kay trip. as soon as you let it sit for 4-5 hours. the same problem will arise agian, then after the stall, its fine agian,,
had it to holden and various places and on computers and no one can seem to fix it,
replaced, crankangle sensor,fuelpump,coolant temp switch, dfi module, and now the computer....
any idears?
Cheers,
Ice,

All that pops into my head would be the alternator maybe. I'll wait for some other ideas. Sounds like everyone else you've taken to is having some trouble with it too aye. Maybe time try another mechanic.
been to 3, including holden, and im a marine mechanic and have backed there work up with all the tests of my own...
alternator and batterey have also been replaced... ive treid another loom to, to no avail,
car is really starting to cost money,.... not to mention getting close to being burned!!!
how do i start a thread or post on this site

That's unlucky. When you say it does not start do you mean you just keep cranking it over but there is no go, or kinda starts and then dies?

You just posted... Also top left hand corner you'll see a button that says "New thread" if i'm not mistakenOriginally Posted by superslave
cranks, and usally starts straight up, although sometimes it dies a few times after being started agian,, say 30 sec of running then drops out,

Hmmm, i'm out of ideas already (not like i had lots to start with) I'll ask my mate and see what he says.
anti-theft system maybe? how old are the key heads?? problem with the BCM??
No anti theft system fitted. and ive ruled the key heads out as its excatly the same time every morning,
whats a BCM?
Woodgrain Nut
Body Control Module. It's located behind the fuse panel. It controls things like power windows, variable wipers, cruise control etc. There are three types Low, Mid and High.
how are the injectors in the car, how are spark plugs, how is the fuel pump or filter, how are the coil packs, hows the butterfly in the throttlebody, and you say that they have gone over your computer, and you have replaced it right, does the engine light come on at any point and lastly does the engine run rough (like vibrating and stuff badly)

Id be guessing if it was a fuel pump regulator it wouldent stop EXACTLY the same time every morning. then after a restart its totally fine,.. but i could be wrong,
Is it a possibilty it was the ECU shooting down the crank angle sensor every time i replaced it?????
maybe i should replace both these items at excatly the same time???????
well if you replaced the computer, shouldnt do it anymore, could be wiring shorting out and earth to the shazzey
