vs commo stalling

[ShawtyNate]

Hey guys. I have my vs with me. It idles fine and idles along in gear fine. But it cuts out all the time. Ever 5 metres or so. Cleaned the tb and maf. New filter. What else could it be. After it stalls. It starts again. But takes a while

Any help is highly appreciated

Kind of sounds like the Crank angle sensor, when these fail, they stop working after they get warm. Seems to happen alot in the warm weather and everyone's complaining about their commodores stalling.

do an error check sounds like cas/dfi module or maybe fuel pump

No codes. It idles fine. It takes off fine. Seems like its something to do with fuel. About 3 seconds after you take off it stalls. If you use accelerator. If you just idle along its fine for a bit. Ive replaced the sensors on tb and cleandd maf. Also changed it. Got a dfi module and coils off my car that I know what works. Could it be blocked fuel filter. Or regulator?

Also he was running e10

Anyone. I have no clue whats going on with it. Ill try swapping over the regulator tomorrow. Get a new fuel filter. Get contact cleaner.

If the filter hasn't been changed in a while then i'd suggest doing it, especially if it was running on e10

I would definitely say pump/filter issue if its been running E10

Just for your reference OP:
"Older cars should not use E10, as it can have a devastating affect on gaskets, seals, hoses and other rubber components in the fuel system."

E10 also has a nasty habit of rusting metal fuel tanks (hence why its used in modern cars with plastic fuel tanks etc), so could even be rust and crud built up in the fuel system

Cheers mate. If that dont fix it. What would?

try the filter first as thats only like $10.

Failing that might have to pull the pump and inspect.

Could be injectors clogged full of crap too, you would need to replace them or take them to someone and get them refurbished. (a bottle of injector cleaner won't fix this)

But my money would be on filter or pump



Don't use E10 again.
