55 vectra 2.2 16v sri - engine cuts out - bainbo

Engine starts fine drives fine when engine gets hot and you park up go shop get back in car engine starts runs 5mins then cuts out then wont start for 10 mins then cuts out again.RAC said it was my fuel pressure sensor either on engine or fuel pump sensor.what does anyone else think RAC man said if was fuel pump sensor it would cut out all the time so he thinking fuel pressure sensor on engine or cable for that the problem came up on his computer fuel pressure fault ?

I would think there is a problem with the high pressure fuel pump.Sits on top of the engine,driven by one of the camshafts.hth

the garage said they changed fuel pump and filter when i took it back today so give them RAC sheet telling them either fuel pressure sensor or wiring. Is they 2 fuel pumps on Vectra or just the one? Weird thing was i did just under hr drive to garage and the service light came on like it does when it hot and wont start but it never cut off.

If this is an Hpi engine,then there is a low pressure lift pump in the tank and a high pressure pump on the engine.

its a 55 reg Vectra direct Sri got eco in engine and it worked fine for a day then soon went fill with petrol it started cutting out again. Finally got it going but now it is like its on a get home speed and service lights on. They changed fuel pump and fuel pressure sensor. Not got a clue if engine hpi or not? Told them about other high pressure fuel pump and told them about fuel regulator solenoid anything else you can think of cause i got 3month warranty and they not got a clue what it is at all? Cheers
