Hey guys,
I am a German backpacker and bought a Commodore from 1998 for my travels. I drove it 200km so far and the engine keeps shutting down during driving, it happened 4 times so far. It just turns off when I press the accelerator and I have to start it again. I sometimes have problems to start the car as well so that I need 3 or 4 attempts to get it started, although this only happens in maybe 10%. The starting motor works then but the engine doesn't fire up. I checked the error codes, but there is no error saved, the engine light just keeps blinking 12 for 'engine is ok'. That is why I think it could be the fuel pump, but I would like to know if you guys got another idea what I could do before I spend hundreds of dollars for a new fuel pump. Thanks a lot.
