Electrical problem
1996 Holden Commodore 6 cyl Automatic

My car just stops whilst I am driving, the battery, engine and oil lights come on. Sometimes the car starts straight away, other times it takes several minutes to restart the car again once it has stopped itself. Thanks.

Hi there,

Often this is a faulty crankshaft position sensor, a scan will show up this, the sensor is located behind the harmonic balanced (front pulley)
