WH Statesman Caprice v6 Ecotec
Hi all. New here but have been searching threads. Having trouble with my WH Statesman, ecotec laden, hoping for ideas.
I’ve replaced CAS, plugs, cleaned PCV, cleaned TB, IAC, checked vacuum hoses, battery & alternator in newish nick. Was running fine few weeks ago, then started stalling whilst driving.
Have done a code check but am bamboozled. Codes are as follows: 10.1, 10.1.10.1, 10.3.4.1 and 10.1.1.3.
If anyone out there able to assist, I would be very appreciative. Cheers.

What year model is it? VT have 3 digit codes and VX have 4 digit codes. I know you have a WH but they spanned quite a few years. I'd say series 1 would have 3 digit codes and series 2 would have 4, as does mine. You have a mix of 3 and 4 digit codes in your post.

Cheers for reply. It’s a 2000 model, series 2 VX coding by sounds of things as all codes I read were not of the 2 digit code.

The first code you have doesn't make sense.
The second code to me reads P0341. P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

The third code is P0113. P0113 IAT Sensor 1 Circuit High Input

accentstencil many thanks for your info and replies. My apologies for not getting back to you earlier, been frustratingly busy trying to solve issue with the WH. I’ve taken the wiring loom from knock sensor, CAS all way up to top of coil pack/injector 1, taped up any Susa bare wires, changed DFI & checked wiring into the plug as well. Car starts as it should first up, runs sweet for about 2-3 minutes then stalls. Only code now evident is 10.3.4.1 (PO341?). Should I take it to wreckers?

Have you tried replacing the cam position sensor? In my experience with commodores the first thing I do when a sensor throws a code is replace the sensor itself and in 80% or cases that fixes the issue.

Did you replace the CAS (Crank Angle Sensor) or the CPS (Cam Postion Sensor)? The code was for the CPS.

Have a look under the water pump to the left. There is a cam position sensor there.
