3.ol v6 cutting out hellllllllp
28. Jul 2009 at 18:15

hi i have been pulling my hair out with this fault.
right i bought car with cracked offside manufold, but car was running fine then about 2 weeks later car started cutting out,
if im doing 70 down the motorway or driving at 30 round town.when it cuts if i floor it after about 3 0r 4 seconds it fires up and is ok for 5 or 6 miles then does the same. sometimes all the dash lights come on and i have to put it in neutral and start it. the engine light does not come on.
i have changed the crankshaft sensor twice with no change. fault code 31 come on fault code but like i say i have fitted two crank sensors. i also hve oil lack come up randomly and coolent level. and some times the fuel gage shows nothing and then reads normal. hellllp. the car is a 96 3.0l v6 elite

Do you mean that the engine light NEVER comes on at all?? Are the crank sensors you fitted genuine Vauxhall ones?

I would recommend that you check your HT leads and DIS Pack as well

Jul 2009 at 19:02 Have you checked the battery voltage with the engine running at idle, and then at say 3000rpm? Wonder if its over charging and sending the electrics crazy?
