1999 Commodore VT Calais
Hi there,

Car info: Holden VT Commodore 1999.

My check engine light come on and the car stalled while i was driving, the engine just cut off. After approximately 10 to 15 mins i started the car and it worked well. Next day took it to the mechanic and he diagnosed the fault and asked me to change the fuel pump, fuel filter. Along with those i decided to change the spark plugs and air filter as well. The car worked well, sounded good. But a couple of days later, approximately a week the car stalled again after the check engine light came on this time the air conditioner was on.

Other info: I feel that the engine looses power sometimes when i am driving. Also, when i am idling on a red light the car shakes a lot especially when the second fan kicks in. I also feel that i am consuming more fuel. The throttle sometimes feels heavy but not often.

I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.
