• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - 01 1.6 - cutting out after startup 3 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  I took my car in to the vauxhall dealer as it was intermittently cutting out after startup. If I started it and revvved it then it would be fine. The garage said they could not get it to stall and there were no error codes on the ECU. They then proceeded to upgrade the ECU software from v5 to v6
• Challenge: Galaxy stalling, ECU & Radio! 28 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  present. On the last visit to my local garage, to look in this stalling, the Cars error log now reports a code that translates into a 'Vehicle Speed Sensor' problem.

  the codes cleared. The car hasn't been driven as it still cuts out but now the only code seems to P0202 injector 2 malfunction I think.
