    Default Vr ss splutters and stalls

    Hi,
    got a problem with my vr ss 5.0L.
    so far it has done it twice,today and once about a year ago,both days were pretty warmish days probably around 30 degrees.

    Took off from the lights like normal,got up the road and,

    :Tacho bounced between 900-1200 rpm.
    :engine start to splutter and go on
    :as i pulled over and came to a stop it stalled

    Tried restarting and it fired but stalled straight away again.
    If it does idle,its poorly and if you put it in drive or foot down to rev it,it will stall.

    After letting it sit for at least 15-20 minutes it will fire,some times no problems like today (car sat for about an hour before trying to start again),other times will only go for about 5 minutes and stall again.

    Ignition module was replaced a year ago thinking this was the problem and hadnt done it till today probably due to not being driven much and also winter/cooler months.

    Any ideas? dont want to be stuck on the side of the road with a 6 month and 3 year old on a hot day again...

    Could be the sensor in the dissy. Mine did similar things, i had a sapre dissy so swapped them over set the timing and off we go.
