My V5 does the same thing. If I start it up, drive down my gravel road at low speed (20-30km/h) I can feel it surging. One minute later completely gone. Hasn\'t worried me enough to do anything about it.

Hi everyone, Whens the next meet? Have we already had Aprils one?

wow thats great! Well done =)

Hmm some positive news so far for once! This evening I; cleaned fuel pump terminal loosened fuel cap to allow tank to breath ( thought maybe if breather was blocked it would cause a vacuum in the tank) Took battery out - cleaned earth and blew out main wiring loom making sure I clipped the thing bloody hard ! Put insulation tape around my Sub wire as was worn. I then drove 55- 60km\'s without a problem, opposed to the usual 10km\'s. Unsure at this stage what the actual problem was but hopefully things keep behaving. Thanks for all the help, I\'ve wrote down a big list from everyones knowledge for future reference, hopefully won\'t be needing it with my own car again =D .

Haven\'t checked on side of road when it stops yet. Need to get some good gloves so I can whip the plugs out without scalding myself ! Really frustrating with my limited to no knowledge with this sort of stuff ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still unsure. What makes you think it is fuel related? Tonight I have cleaned my AFM Tested my coolant temp sensor (so annoying, had to take the alternator off due to lack of tools). Put it in a cup of water and gradually increased the temperature right up to about 90 degrees Celsius - resistance seemed on par from what I could find on the internet. If the coolant temp sensor was playing up, would it have the capability of telling the car to shut down instantly? I noticed the car wouldn\'t start when removed. Unsure if its important or not but the car is currently running straight water for its initial bed in process. Really annoying as I cannot test the fault without taking it for a 15 minute drive and then getting stranded somewhere! Starting to get even more frustrated =S

Will have a look when it cools ross, thanks ! Took it for another drive to get her home. All was fine, but yet again after about 15 minutes driving the car hesitated a couple times ,500m after this it suddenly just turned off. Would not start again, left it for 5 minutes and it started and drove me the last 1km home like normal! Its almost as if when the engine gets to a certain temperature it shuts off. When you wait a while and let it cool it will run as per normal. There was no time it stalled on idle tonight, even after doing a few things I did last night to try and make it stop. Still no CEL. So ???

Hmmm pcsv looks to be under the intake manifold ? We didn\'t touch this at all literally unbolted it and set it aside Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I should be able to bleed it out by letting the pump prime itself several times without starting the car correct ? Unsure what they are supposed to look like I shall google this =] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep I think it had 98 in it before . Car wouldn\'t start at all last night after it died . Tried it now and it fired up within 2 seconds ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well . Fuel pump cranked over fine and primed fine . It was a tiny bit slower when cranking but I think that was just down to the battery sucking a bit more juice . Looked at fuel . Seems a bit yellow ? No water in it though ( little bit as I had to clean the bottle out ! ) only 1 or 2 ml from this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ross - excellent I will try your technique and let you know how I get on. Possible to have moisture, I swear Ive lost about 1/4 of a tank just sitting there! Mark - yes it almost just dies instantly, I was driving happily no issues at 80kms then it just turned off on me. In one instance it died when I had the bonnet open, idling rough for maybe 2 seconds before turning off.

On a side note, the car has been sitting on my driveway for approx 10 weeks. It has 2/3rd tank of fuel in it. This surely wouldn\'t spoil in this time, or be the cause of my woes?

Hi Ross, your always lurking around to help me out . . I like it =)!. Haven\'t seen the CEL on while driving, running or anything since first starting the car. Should I take the plugs out and crank the engine to see if there is a spark? No pressure gauge, will find a jar or something for petrol. I bought a new fuel filter today to see if theres any change - doubt it but it probably needed doing anyway as hasn\'t had one in the last 60kms.
