    Default Astra GSI C20XE M2.8 Losing power/dies randomly

    Hello everyone!
    What can be wrong with my car if it's suddenly just losing power while driving (normally at lower speeds, it has happend many times that way what I remember), sometimes it's just losing power/dies while driving, if I hit down hard once it happens on the gaspedal and goes up to higher speeds it goes back to normal and don't stalls. I can start the engine Immediately after if I just let it die. This happens irregular which sucks.

    Have you tired checking for fault codes? Sounds similar to a crank sensor issue I had with a Cavalier many years ago. Loss of power, worse at low revs & sudden cut out. That being said could also be a few other things.

    I used OP-COM and i got faultcode 93 Hall Sensor Voltage low and 13 02 Sensor 1 Open circuit. Can the camshaft position sensor cause these symptoms maybe?

    The car runns bad at idle to sometimes, same if I disconnect the mass airflow sensor, no improvements, I looked in op-com and at the values it should be from this site https://www.clubcalibra.net/v6calibr...faultcodes.htm code 73 in the list (this code did not come up in op-com) it says it should be "Normal idle value is between 0.56 and 0.86 volts DC.
    This equates to 8 - 18 kg/hr air mass flow."
    but I have 21 kg/h and 0.96 volts, this can't be a good sign. Maybe it will get better to clean it?
