    Default Is it the Fuel pump?

    Gday again JCers.Still got the original problem 0f stalling.Stalled for the third time but this time with the tinny on the back.Getting pretty sick of being a traffic cop directing traffic around the VS wagon.Gees theres some dead set nutters driving out there.Left it for an hour and started up and i drove home 10 mins away,as with the other 2 times.Changed plugs,leads cas,injectors,dfi and a faulty tested coil,cleaned throttle body.Im thinking of changing the fuel pump relay,fuel filter and fuel pump to an ac delco.Car runs perfect then just shudders and then stalls.And wont start. Any suggestions?

    Could be the pump. But have you looked into the imobiliser possibly the contacts around the key barrel. When it stalls is the red light flashing in the center console.

    When it stalls can you hear the pump run for a few seconds when you turn the key to accessories just before you start.
