Ive read through most of the forums on this topic i think and nothing has fixed my problem

My car takes a few seconds to start when cold or hasn't been running for about an hour, i have changed the fuel pump the dfi module and the crank angle sensor, i have tested the ecu for correct voltages etc and is fine i was getting error code 47 so i put a new CAS in and now no code but still the same prpblem.
The engine also just stalls while driving sometimes and i need to restart the engine or it just restarts itself???

fuel pump relay failure (starts on oil pressure relay)
or fuel regulator failure (floods due to diaphram rupture)

How is the connector on the side of the dfi module. Run the car and give the connector a wiggle and see if the problem occurs.

my vr commy has been doing the same lately, holden seem to think its my valve stem seals (i know ive got probs with them, but dunno how it makes it hard to start).

Does ur car blow any smoke?

blue (at startup) = valve stem seals
black = fuel related (or no spark to burn fuel etc)
white = water (headgasket)
