VS SS wont start after been driven for 30 mins

[paulforaname]

Hi all, jut have problem with my VS SS, about 4 weeks ago drove home from work and stopped at shops and then wouldnt start, sound like no fuel getting through, keep turning over but wouldnt fire, then after 20-30 mins started like normal, happened again few times but last week cut out while driving , i think when revs dropped and wouldnt start for 30 mins again, had fuel pump changed and no different, could it be intermittent elec fault between f/p relay and fuel pump??

I'd go with the crank angle sensor, try pouring water on it the next time it stalls and see if it starts, if it does that's the problem (the water makes the plastic contract) and it's a $50 part to fix

can you let me know the CAS is on a 5L as thought built into disbributor?( sorry i'm a bass player)

dont really see alot of problems with the crank sensor.... usually the DFI module stops, its on the passenger side strut tower and are about $140 exchange with ACA

[hako]

There is no CAS on the V8 - the ignition module and/or the coil give similar problems to the original post. Do a search on this forum as this has been gone over a few times.

theres a hall affect sensor in th dizzy... but its hard to explain to people who know it as a CAS...

thanks guys as had me stumped, thought maybe fuel problem i.e lack of it which made me think fuel pump, what does DFI module, sorry DFI stand for ??, and where exactly is the coil pack ?? i thought it might be fuel related as had LPG fitted last December..

[Boonz]

direct fire ignition i rekon... the coil is located at the back of the passenger side head

the DFI controls the fuel pump pulse aswell, so when they fail the fuel pump is usually not operating aswell

[paulforaname]

thanks heaps Peanuts, why would it then restart? and as mentioned stalling ( i think only when slowing down, lights , driveways) when DFI stuffed, then to work later? is there anything i can do to speed up time it takes to restart? cheers and opinions please...

[Boonz]

could also be the coil over heating, and starting when it cools down, BUT the coil should of been replaced when the LPG conversion was done, most installs say the coil must be replaced, so if your coil was replaced, then swap it with another DFI module and see how it goes

my car is having the exact same problem atm except it doesnt stall sometimes while driving. i have been doing a bit of research on it and everyone seems to think its the hall effect sensor. if anyone can explain how to change it that would be awesome.

ignition module is very common thing to happen in the 5ltrs the silver box on the passenger strut tower. they can overheat and fail. when it cools down it works again

why not drive for 31 mins :P

coil or ignition module i reckon......had the same problem with mine,changed both,but coil was the fault.....not sure about you but I have quite large hands,so i found it easier to lengthen the coil wires and mount a coil on the firewall/inner gaurd area,its a bitch to get to in the factory location

mines already moved to the firewall when I bought it . might change the whole lot when I can so I know all is new and good
