Vy commodore Ute 3.8
Hey guys and girls, I have a vy 3.8 Ute that keeps stalling? I did see a post a while ago with someone having the same issue and was wondering if they found the problem? She starts fine and I can have her running in the garage for 20 mins + with no issues! But when I go for a drive she cuts out and won’t start again until after 10 mins then keeps cutting out? I have replaced all sensors and my mechanic isn’t sure what it is either? I have just started her again and is running fine? But as soon as I drive it cuts out? Could it be my fuel pump ? Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Have you changed the CAS?

You need to determine if you have a no spark issue when it cut out. If the pump has say 250k on it then I'd be changing it anyway for insurance. Because they don't last much longer than 250k as general rule.

Get it scanned, see what DTC's have been recorded, [in the history]
Some DTC's will reset automatically after the second cycle of driving.
not all DTC's activate the MIL.
