I was coming home the other day when my 1990 vn commodore died it took a while but i finally got it restarted, but i cannot get any revs out of the car, when you put your foot on the acclerator pedal it stalls.

Before: it stalled every know and then the car would die in revs and then surge.

Cheers
Colin

nah man crank angle sensor aint like that...the crank angle sensor works fine once u chuck water on it, wont kill it when u start it and put foot on accelerator cable...good guess tho, id say probably the coil pack...

but definatley not crank angle sensor...

cheers, Todd
