Stop it stopping

MY 1996 Holden VS Series 2 V6 keeps stopping. First thing in the morning, after about 5km, it stops. It starts again first thing. The local Holden dealer has checked the throttle assembly and it appears to be OK. Any idea what the problem might be?

IT COULD be any of several things. You really need to have it checked by a dealer. It could be a temperature sensor, the crank-angle sensor, a direct-fire ignition pack, or several other components.
