VS Clubsport stops while driving
hey guys got a probem with my sisters car. The car runs fine and will idle for hours but once you drive it for half a hour or so it stops, but once it cools down alittle it starts again then stops again. i've replaced the (coil,ignition module,brand new keys) i've also had the computer on it but i think the guys was unsure what he was doing, really starting to pull my hair out. if you could help it would be appreciated. thanks.

operation HQ under way.
common with a crank angle sensor issue, which is in the dizzy in this one and is a hall effect sensor type

Before you waste your money, its not a crank angle sensor. They are only on a V6

Could also be a blocked fuel filter or the fuel pump itself being on its last legs.
the filters alright. maybe the pump. but it only cuts out after you drive for 10mins or so. idles for ages
if you can get a can of freeze spray, when it plays up, shoot the dizzy. you have to pull the dizzy out from memory to replace the module thats in it. thats probably your issue though if you've done the ignition module.
ok thanks. do know what the modual is called? ill try source 1 now.
Hall effect sensor for sureget a new bosch dizzy... the sensor is built in to the dizzy. You can replace it if you are confident in taking the distributor apart, easier and quicker to get a new dizzy
yea shouldn't be a problem. thanks for the feedback guys
could it be the ignition module, or something to do with that. apparently it wasn't changed but one from a mates car (who has no problem) was tested in it but it got really hot just like hers does. in my mates car it works fine. what could cause this? also my brother in law sprayed freeze spray on another sensor near the oil pump when it died then it started straight away.. does any one know what this sensor is? i willl have more info on it tommorrow. thanks guys.
P.S. Ill try get some pics of it on here for yous to look at. pretty awesome for a pink car lol

crank angle sensor in V8 is in the dizzy, not the front of engine.

Now we have no spark at the dizzy and a new coil is in? What else could cause that? still need to check the other side of the coil to see if theres spark there.
hey champ i got a vs ute with a 5Lt in it. i had the same problem n i went through the same stuff as u n i found that it was the thermostat.
i couldnt belive it myself but yer.
have fun :P
