Problems problems problems...

Hi All
I hope someone can suggest something...I have a Vz Acclaim which is starting to cut out around every 20-30km whilst driving. This started initially with the engine cutting out, no warning lights and has recently changed to the most recent problem being a 'check powertrain light' immediately followed by a 'ESP failed' / 'Fuel guage error' and 'service vehicle soon' messages all in quick succession. I had a mobile mechanic check it twice with a tech2 with no luck. He spent 2 visits of around 1 hour each trying to work out what the problem was and still hasn't been able to. He cleared the log etc, but couldn't fault it. Any suggestions before I drive the thing off a cliff?

hey mate,

i know a few of the fellas on here have resolved the "check powertrain" light by replacing the c02 censor because apparantly it stuffs up otherwise not sure..if u say you've had a mechanic look at it and use the tech2 well only other thing could maybe be a fuel pump on its way out? sorry i couldnt help more

It sounds like it is dangerous to you and others.
Unfortunately you will have to deal with the Evil Empire Padowan.

Thanks guys, I've booked it in to the dark side tomorrow. Hopefully I won't have to sell the house to fix it.

Still no luck...the Holden Service guys could not fault it. Will have to keep on driving until it faults again (shouldn't take long!) to provide some fault codes. Any suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
