what ECU have you got?

hey mate i had a similar problem and it maybe ether of there 2 things the crank angle sensor (cas). if you have a mate with the same car or some one that you could lend it off just to try it. just mark it swap them and try it. or you can clean your aac valve but this usually only will conk you out when you go down to idle. if it is all carboned up when you let go of the accelerator it will just die on you.

well it is a bit confusing sorry about that but i hope this can help you out cheers

If no luck on the AAC, clean the AFM.

Im guessing the bov is venting to atmosphere? looks like thats the problem if it is.

[FloydWestwood]

Another issue I came across once that was similar to this was that there was a loose wire on the ECU harness.

Just to cover all bases, remove the kick panel, start the car and GENTLY wriggle the ECU harness and see if the car cuts out.

Symptoms point to the pump as a possibility, very common for the old R32 pumps to die, since it's a early 33 the stock pump might be nearly 15 years old now

HOLY CRAP!!! I thought i was the only tard to stop at a major intersection, holding up Melbourne's traffic. Great FUN! So the fuel pump solved your problem. I'm gonna get one on Wednesday see how I go.

P.S I feel your pain!
