I have an issue with my VX commodore 3.8 V6.... What is happening is, car starts and once up to normal opperating temperature, if I stop at traffic lights the car stalls. Sometimes it will refire, sometimes not. I have replaced the crank sensor, cam sensor, water temp sensor, and all new spark plugs. Now showing no error codes (continuously P0012). Now the car won't start at all. Turns over but won't fire. I was thinking fuel pump/filter?
Any advise would be much appreciated. Very frustrating!
Thanks guys

If it was a fuel pump it would be completely dead, wouldn't work for a particular period of time every time like you say. You should change the fuel filter tho.

Does it do it every time at the same place or at the same time?

Yes it does, once warmed up it tends to stall

Unsure how to test fuel pressure, all I've done is pinch the fuel intake hase between my thumb and finger and can feel an initial increase in pressure but the drops off immediately
