Vauxhall Astra G 1.7 CDTi 2003 - Stops after a few minutes #

Hi
This car starts fine from cold, stops after a few minutes, leave to cool and starts again. Can run at 3000rpm and leave for 30 minutes and still fine, leave on idle and stops after a few minutes. Nothing on codes to indicate fault. The old 1.7 had a emmissions pack on back of pump which gave similar fault. No air coming in system, fuel filter is full.
Any ideas please
Regards Trevor

Hi Trev, Not sure what you mean by "emmissions pack on back of pump". Depending on what system it has some have a mechanical lift pump that is bolted to the back of the high pressure pump. To check whether it has an in tank pump just look at the number of wires going into the tank from the plug just above the rear axle. 2 wires only equals no in tank pump. If it wont start until it has cooled down it should give you time to do some tests. Looking at live data, what is the fuel pressure whilst cranking? Have you done a leak off test? I have had one with a crank sensor fault even though all local dealers said they had never sold one. That did give an engine speed signal code though. If you get stuck drop it round, I'll take a look if you want. Regards, Bryan.
