    Hey guys,

    im at a loss, my VR decided on the way home today to stall at 80kmph, just randomly, than it started doing it intermittently at any speed, including idle (in gear or not). Now it chug and putters and runs rich as **** and i cant keep it running for more than 30 seconds, i got it home (must to the disgust or various perth motorists), i am thinking o2 sensor, but i noticed the belt tensioner is shaking an awful lot when its clugging.

    also, this is the car that im replacing the harmonic balancer on, could that be stopping it? i just started a new job and cant afford to buy both a HB and an O2 sensor.

    thanks

    Sounds like a crank angle sensor
