[mtp13]

Hi all
Just wondering if any one would know why my vy ute would stop running mid drive and then not start? It turns over but wont actually start and today i went and see if i could find the prob myself and noticed the battery was srewed , so i replaced it with a new 1 and still it wont start any ideas would be much appreciated

Did you have a "check engine" warning displayed on your dash or any other warnings displaying previously or now?

More information would be nice.

Engine?
Does it turn over?

[mtp13]

there were no warning displays now or in the past,as for the engine it turns over but thats all it does there are no strange noises or anything like that when i try and start it ,its just a great mystery

[Sean880]

Possibly the FUEL PUMP has failed. I would first check:
1. the fuse(15 amp) for the Fuel Pump; and
2. the Fuel Pump relay

Both are located in the engine compartment fuse/relay box on the driver's side.

It maybe a loose connection (pin connector) on your DFI module, try taking it out then putting it back in again. If your ute still does start it could either be your DFI module is rooted. The other option is the Crank Angle Sensor is gone?

Good luck with it...

Check for spark, and fuel first.

fuel pump is working fine but there is no spark

What motor?
Ecotec?
Change the coil.

Try Crank Angle Sensor too , although normally it would trigger a fault code & put the engine warning light on , but has been known to not!!!

if there is no spark then its the ignition side of things. Like CAS,DFI module,Ignition coils.

its looking like cas atm thanks every 1 for your help ill keep you posted feeling lost without my toy,the kluger is just not cutting it lol

[mtp13]

It was the CAS afterall

My missus has the same issue, VY supercharged.

But it starts again when you reset the computer. Any ideas??

mate if your not getting spark it sounds like a pin is lose in the DFI connector to the coil pack... had this happen to my vy the other week

just disconnect it and try and tighten the pins up and you should be good to go

It stopped completely on the freeway tonight. We reset the computer 3 times, and still no gd. Sometimes it would cough like it wanted to start, then it would die. Pulled the belt off the supercharger and it started!....weird.

Got to the top of the onramp and....dead again, then I d/c the battery again, reconnected it and it started again. Managed to drive it home giving it a beating, it was running fine.

Am at my wits end with this car. Thinking about replacing the CAS, Fuel filter and or leads (not that I think leads will fix it stopping). All this shit started happening after I did the last service oil, filter, plugs, and coolant flush.

I was beginning to think it might be the computer cutting the engine due to poor fuel quality. We have been using 98 octane ever since the 10lb boost upgrade. When the engine cuts, there is very little in the way of a sign that it will cut. It splutters like once then cuts completely.

Any ideas??
