intermitant engine failure ............now fixed
Hello ppl. I have a very nice VL commodore , manual. 3.0l ( May, 88 )
Just recently it has begun to play up like a second hand lawn mower.
History. ( in sequence )
1) full tank Optimax
2) 1 bottle Spitfire Injector cleaner
3) tune up by maechanic. ( plugs, fuel filter, timing )
4) 110km on freeway and engin jerks/cuts out for a second or two,...runs OK, does the same, then runs ok again.
5) next day, travel 6KM and same engin cut out this time completely dead. Engin turns over but wont start.
6) leave it for 15mins, try again and of she goes smooth as silk.....1km down the road and same thing..engin dies and wont start till let to sit for awhile.
7) It has been suggested it could be either the coil or the Crank Angle Sensor.
any thoughts from other VL owners as this is my first VL and i know **** about cars.
thanks fror your advice
be good stay safe
