Title: starting and cutting out
Post by: unlucky vauxhall owner on 13 February 2010, 12:34:34

Wonder if anyone has any ideas? V6 CDX 2.5. Taking 3 or 4 attempts before she starts. Also cuts out frequently when on tickover. Would appreciate any help thanks.

could be a couple of issues, ICV (idle control valve) worth cleaning that. Worth doing a paper clip test to get the codes, you may have a 19 for crank sensor  :y

You can also try running it with MAF sensor disconnected to prove if this sensor ok.

Thanks Guys ! Sorry I took so long to reply! Had a few problems to deal with recently unrelated to car. Anyway Cleaned the ICV . still same problem. So I took it back to local garage. This is where I had the crank sensor replaced last June. Turned out it was faulty. He replaced it under warranty and so far seems to be ok. Cost me nothing! www.westendlanemotors.co.uk  I feel he deserves a mention. Myself and a couple of friends have used him before recommended! Thanks again people.  :y

As long as he replaced it with a genuine Vx sensor as the copies are prone to premature failure ;)
