    Unhappy SV6 Engine and electrics cut-out

    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    I have stock standard VZ SV6, only 50,000k's, female driver only and it cuts out in the morning. It will sometimes require a couple of cranks to start, but then idles and runs fine, until a minute or two, or a few hundred metres it just dies - complete cut out, no engine, no electrics - when driving. Slip the car into neutral or park, re-start, and it is fine for the rest of the day.

    This started last summer, we had it at Holden for weeks on end over 10 visits and they could never "repeat" the fault - even though it happened most mornings, before 9am only - once there is some heat in the day it is fine..... Through the last winter the fault went away and we thought it had been rectified, but it happened for the first time again this morning - nice day, bit of sunshine at 8:30am.....

    I assume it is a condensation on a sensor problem, or some other weather variant issue - the car is parked outside overnight. Can someone please help - it is dangerous to drive....

    I cant say I have ever had the problem myself, but it did happen on my friends VE SS. All I did for that was hit most of the plugs with some silicon spray and make sure the O2 sensor was plugged in properly.

    I am sure someone else can give a better solution though
