My 97 vt commodore keeps stalkin on me, in the mornings it's takes 5 or so attempts to start the car but once it's started it starts straight away after its warned up a little bit, but then once it's warmed up and starts straight away it stalls every now and again at any speed, the other day it stalled on me at 100 km's and at 80 km's and it also stalls driving through car parks ect
Has this happened to anyone else?
If so how was this problem fixed?
Thanks.

There could be a number of things causing that, like the car could just need a basic tune (i.e. new spark plugs, leads , air / petrol filters, etc), the IAC valve could be clogged up with carbon.
There was an issue with the VT series 1 where they had an issue with stalling, that was due to the programming the ECU and Holden fixed that up, have you had any letters sent to you from Holden requesting the car be recalled for that?
You'd have to go to them and they will reflash the MEMCAL in the ECU with a later program.
Yeah, they do that as my brother was receiving letters from them when the car (VN Commodore) was like 10 years old requesting that the front drivers side seat belt stalk needed replacing as they were known to rub through & fray.

hey mate i would be checking ure throttle body for carbon build up but do not think thats the cause of ure problem check ure fuel pressure with a gauge but most common of all its the crank sensor check all these 3 things most likely will be cas hope this helps
