Hello.

I have an opel astra 2001 stationwagon. The problem I have with the car is that sometimes when I am driving with 90km/h-100km/h, the car starts shaking and at the end of the highway (when I usually slowdown and turn to another road) it dies. For a couple of minutes it is impossible to start it again. However, when I wait like 5 mins to start it again, it works normally.

This problem occurs usually either accelerating or slowing down. I made some search on the internet and a fuel problem seems likely but I cant be sure. I would like your opinion about it.

Sincerely Tarik.

Check fuel pressure is good. Replace the crankshaft position sensor
