Stalling issue - FIXED, YEAY!!!!

[Boothy]

Came home from work last night and towards the end of the drive the car jerked badly whilst turning into a junction, almost like a stall. Presumed I must have caught the brake or something and thought no more of it.
 Today however its done it twice again in 4 mile? Once when I dipped the clutch it did stall and had to turn the key again and the second time it just began to stall mid reba then died. I dipped the clutch a bumped it off whilst still moving and it was fine again. No warning lights other than the battery but presumably that's due to the stall?

Going away camping today for the weekend and I don't wanna get stranded. Any ideas? Could it be the battery on its way out? All coil packs were recently replaced too.

The battery lights come on when the car stalls, best to get it scanned for fault codes.

Once the engines running the battery shouldn't be doing anything but charging all electrical requirements should be coming from the alternator so not a battery issue unless you cant start it from cold.

You really could do with a scan to see whats going on.  Also how is your idle is it rough wondering if it could be engine vacuum or something similar.

[Boothy]

Scanned the car and its showing no faults whatsoever? Seems to be running ok again now so maybe just some cap in the fuel maybe? Idle is solid.

Done 300 mile this weekend and its still has the same problem? Its always at about 2500rpm and usually under very light loads but other than that it seems totally random. I would guess its done it about 10-15 times over the whole journey.

Its like a misfire but it seems to stall if I'm dipping the clutch to say, change gear or pull up at a junction. Apart from the stalling its very similar to when the coil pack started to go but all four were recently replaced under the recall, along with new plugs at the same time so I just can't see them going in a few months and as I said, no faults have been logged. Other times when I was just coasting at a steady speed with very light throttle I could almost feel the car slowing down, as if I had let of the gas a bit. It very strange. 

Not quite sure what to do really as with no faults logged its gonna cost a bomb to diagnose the issue.

I would fnd someone with vcds and do some fuel pressure logs?

[alexperkins]

Id be inclined to try a new fuel filter

[Boothy]

Thought about the filter to be honest so might give that a try. I might have to call on the services of MortyGTTDI to do the logs too.
 Car is going to the bodyshop on Tuesday though for new wings and the boot doing so gonna be without the car for sometime before I can sort it. Just wish it had logged a fault so I could just get it fixed.

I know you had new coil packs fitted but it may still be worth live logging of your misfire count (blocks 015 and 016). I would also suggest you log block 103 (low-side feed pressure from the tank).

When did you last change your plugs?

Plugs got changed at the same time as the coil packs mate. Having googled it there seems to be a few people have experienced the same issue. It's been put down to the fuel pump, fuel regulator, fuel lift (?), pedal sensor, Ecu and some other bits. All seem to report that no faults were logged etc and it was a process of elimination which will likely mean countless man hours and expensive parts.

Sounds like my ongoing fault.

Read through that mate but you seemed to suffer from an erratic idle where as my idle is rock solid.......currently. Could well be the G247 sensor though I suppose?

Sure it has already been checked, but is the air intake fitted properly after the engine cover was refitted, mine stalled as the connector pipe was slightly loose and not allowing the correct amount of air into the engine.

Checked it mate and it all seems correct

Well I really could just sit down and bloody cry. Dropped off the car at the dealers today for them to start on the bodywork repairs (rust) and asked them to look at the issues I'm having with stalling. It was really bad this morning and at one point I couldn't even get the car to restart.

Anyway apparently it has thrown up the following fault codes:

P1063 - fuel pressure control below limit
P310B - low fuel pressure control outside tolerence

Apparently that took the whole hour of diagnostic that cost me £80. Now he thinks its the cam follower, cam and HPFP but needs another £220 in labour to strip it down to see. Then there are the parts and associated cost to fix those parts and thats providing that it IS those parts that are faulty.
 I have never had a car go so fuc*ing wrong in my LIFE! I thought my £800 aircon bill was steep but this is set to reach new heights. I just don't know what to do anymore? I can't drive it anywhere to get a second opinion, I can't just leave it there for ever and I can't even sell the thing with the faults. Well and truly fuc*ed right off to the extreme.

And to add insult to injury my father in laws who was paying for my wedding in 4 months just got made redundant for the second time in two years. C*nts!
