-

-
Blocked fuel filter?
-
got fuel filter to go on as well.
-
Just make sure its a Genuine VX part and not a new for vauxhall pattern part as these tend to fail pretty quickly :y
-
I'd go with crank sensor, if it was the dis pack it might be down a couple of cylinders :y

if dis pack as crack in it they work for a bit then stop takes about ten min for them to work again.

All the ones i've ever replaced (and its quite a few) tend to cause a miss fire but the car still runs.

I think he has an Ebay shop selling Dis packs ;D
-

You buy and fix damaged dispacks then resell them?
What do you do with all the rusty plates that seem to burst out of the plastic??
-
no dont sell just buy and fix and sell on thanks.
Do you sell them on or not then? I am puzzled :-?
-

-

ive seen a lot of stuff but not a rusty one. plus all the one's ive seen are bacolite.
-
dis-packs at dawn!
-
me too. im confussed
Think Rusty confusses himself mate.
Your car like already said sounds more like the Crank Sensor, most of the time it will put the EML (engine management light) on as a code 19, but not always, I have seen a few now that haven't.
When dispacks are breaking down like already said the car may missfire.
Hope this clears it up for ya :y

I think your right Youth.
Rusty, A dis pack has an iron core and when they let water in the core rusts which expands causing the plactic to crack ::)

If you have not seen or know what I mean by Rusty Plates on a broken dispack you aint seen any.
-
Autovaux are good for some things, but personally the crank sensor is one of the things I would buy genuine from VX. ;)
-
yes me thinks crank sensless as well but i will look at the pack as well.
