cutting out again.

[moff_man]

hi guys, after more info. i don't have any info at home for me self and not looking to go in to work

its cutting out again. this time i don't think its fuel.

round right hand corners it just dies. last time it did it i would restart. now it has left me stuck twice. I'm getting codes 24,31 and 12. don't think any of them are causing the issue.

i could only do a flash code check. tech 1 wasn't much help. could the crank angle sensor be an issue here. I'm replacing it anyways.

i have 1/2 tank and it still does it. fuel pump primes after it cuts out and it doesn't sound like it pumping air.

dfi module is next on the list.

the tdm code shouldn't make it cut out should it. or the vss code?

also Ive had enough of this car, Ive got it up for sale, but i want it sorted before i off load it.

any one had an issue like this before thats fixed it? its been fine for weeks (after a new pump fitted again) even with the fuel light on now all of a sudden its doing it again

Ive fixed a commodore VS that had problems with cutting out around corners, and I tracked it down to being the wire that went to the main 60A fusible link.Where the wire joins the main fusible link there is a small bolt that goes through the wiring connector and the fusible link.This wiring has come loose in the connector and every time the car went around a corner,the battery moved a tiny bit,just enough to move the wiring and cause this connector to move and because it wasnt crimped properly would stuff up.(the movement over the years had made the crimp come loose).I removed the bolt from the main fusible link.I removed the connector and cleaned the wire and re crimped the wire to the connector properly and re installed the bolt and the main fusible link.It hasnt cut out since.It might be worth checking this out as its hidden behind a plastic cover that opens up,which is under the main fusible links ,so its hard to notice unless you actually look in there at it..

ill have a look, did that one crank after it cut out?

Ive bought a genuine cas now so its getting one probably best to fit one anyway

[Brett_jjj]

This one would cut out around both left and right corners every now and then,but then you could restart it a few seconds later.Ive also seen the fuel pump wiring cause the same thing,the pump wire had a tiny nick in it through the wire but not all the way through the wire's sheath,just enough to make the break in the wire loose contact when the wire moved around when going around corners,it took weeks to find what was doing it.The car eventually died completely,I would never have found it otherwise.I used a multimeter on the circuit and went through the wiring and found the tiny break,under the rear of the car.It looked like something flew up off the road and half sliced the pump wire.Also definitely fit the CAS,you can then rule it out of being the cause of the problem.

cas was fitted stright after it got me stuck this morning.
drove 100 odd kays and no issues so far. i also found the battery terminals loose. never trust your mates to "borrow" your battery ......

ok its been since saturday and it never cut out, now it did. im now getting code 49 Cam / Crank Shaft Signal Intermittent. since the cas is new could it be the cam sensor?

[Brett_jjj]

My camshaft sensor magnet thats on the camshaft sprocket came out of the hole on the cam sprocket ,which gave me error code 48.I removed the timing chain cover and found the old magnet stuck to the side of the engine,sort of behind the cam sprocket,the plastic cage that holds the magnet in the hole was broken.$80 for a new magnet from holden.But what Im getting at is when I was driving it around with the error for a few days before fixing it,it didnt stall or cut out at all,although it nearly would stall when idling in gear ,like when sitting at the lights etc,it idled really rough,and just generally ran like crap.Just thought this would give you an idea of how the engine runs when the cam sensor signal is stuffing up or is completely missing.

[moff_man]

im assuming my issue is a dfi module. both cam and crank signals go in to the dfi module.its the only thing so far that hasnt been replaced

[moff_man]

Solved: for now

new tank fitted seems to be fixed. the small galleries in the venturi must of been getting blocked or are blocked thus causing very bad fuel surge enough to cause it to cut out.

thanks to bandit10 who sold me the tank

Glad the problem is solved
