    Holden Barina 2002: Why is it stopping in high heats?

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Barina Holden Barina Advice Holden Barina 2002

    On a hot day, say high 30 degrees C and above, our daughter’s 2002 Holden Barina stops. You will be driving it and it just stops. I have been told it is the fuel with the heat. We keep the fuel topped up but it still breaks down. Once we let it sit for a few hours to cool down it will resume working. Can you make any suggestions please?

    It’s most unusual for a fuel-injected car to suffer from fuel vaporisation as you suggest your daughter’s does. Check the fuel pump, make sure the fuel return line is not blocked, and check to see the fuel lines are not too close to the exhaust. It can also be affected if the car is running hot for some reason, so make sure the cooling system is up to scratch.
