VU ute ignition

[Steves Superb VU Com]

Driving my com vu ute when suddenly the engine just stopped. Battery light came on. Turned the ignition key and it started up just fine. Suspect the fault might be the key fob or in the ignition barrel. Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions or remedies gratefully received thanks.

Not likely. Once the engine is running I don't think the vehicle anti-theft system can shut down the engine, it only stops the engine from starting if the correct key fob isn't been used.

This is a V6 model?

I'm assuming you have a v6?
If correct the coil packs sit on it in front of engine.

Yes it's the ecotec V6. The dfi is the coilpacks?

The coil packs sit on top of the dfi.
