Battery was checked, everything else seamed okay from what the auto electrician said.

Yes it is, does it mean the ecu needs to be replaced? Im hoping not as its bloody expensive :(

Started car one day engine ran for about 20 seconds and just goes dead, no sound anything. Turn the key to start and hear a clicking sound coming from under the hood. Had a lock and the PWR/TRN relay fuse is making a clicking sound as well as the throttle body. Swapped over the relays and same...

This car just had a service 3rd since coming off the factory line. Today I pulled off one of the hoses and discovered a **** load of oil. I pulled off the ir intake from the throttle body and found about a tablespoon of oil as well. What do you think considering its still under warranty...

####, took it for a drive then smell still strong. I noticed the handbrake console - the plastic underneath where the lever is burning hot which i thought was strange. Opened the bonnet and the passenger side is unusaully hot compared to the driver side. Then looked at my garage floor and...

Thanks for clarifying - I think you may be right - I havnt taken the car for a good long drive since I first got it, I live next to the f3 so there is no excuse. I guess Ill go for a good 100km run see how it goes and if it still is there then take it into holden.

all looks ok under the hood, I checked for any foreign bodies stuck under the car also. Its hard to locate the source of the smell by the time Ive run it back home the whole bay stinks. I cant see any smoke/haze when I lift the bonnet either. Im starting to get worried - first new car and this...

I should add the car is only one month old and I thought the exhaust would be ok by now. I bought the car as a demo with 7km on the clock, the first test drive I smel the same thing and asked what it was, the sales guy mentioned it was all the glues and everything settling ( i have never bought...

I have ridden the clutch a few times, the smell has only started in the last two days. It really has a strong burnt rubber smell and even the smell goes through my house after I park the car in the garage.

I just bought a sv6 series 2 manual and the last two days all I can smell is a burning rubber smell. The car has only done 1100k's and I have not thrashed it. The smell is getting that bad in the cabin its making me asick and making my garage smell like ive just done a burn out inside it...

if its rough at idle try some crc maf sensor cleaner and follow this - https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/cleaning-maf-sensor-replacing-air-filter.137294 I noticed when I clean mine there was some oil residue between one of the hoses and the inlet manifold, so I got some carby...

Mate I rember you posting in my thread, you never mentioned you had three cyl misfiring. The first thing to check is for a vacuum leak specially if it is multi/random misfires, there are many videos on you tube on how to do this but it can be dangerous because you are spraying flammable...

strange looking at the coil packs i got - fuelmiser they are stamped with bosch on the plastic.

YEah I got FUELMISER they are fine. So you now have 6 working coil packs testing fine with the multimeter? IF you have already changes the sparks and the fuelinjectors it is probably the wiring - you really need to get the fualt traced back by an auto electrician to confirm its the ecm...

I got mine for $137 on ebay - nolathane and I was also a little worried from some reviews but I have to say the car handles corners and round abouts like a raging bull now - love it! I feel alot safer too with them fitted and the amount of control I have back is huge - my ZV had done 110000 on...

lucky it was only that:-) did they cracked it when putting it in then? My car was on 112 k. It might not be the ecm there is every chance you can eliminate what it is, here's what I did in order Pull each plug from the coilpack one at a time, when you pull the one out with the problem you...

1500 bucks all up. Only a few people have the software to reprogram/calibrate the new ecm. My mechanic called him out - he charged me 900 for the ecm module and 238 for the labour of prgramming it. If you want it retuned youll probably have to spend another 400 getting that done. MY car is...

Just got it back - all good now. If anyone is wondering about the symptoms, I can say that I noticed for a months at idle there would be a lsight misfire, maybe 1 or 2 bareley noticable other than a little shake of the car. If this starts happening your ECM is on its way out. They are poorly...

they tell me it was 300 labour to diagnose the fault which was testing all connections, fuel injectors and wiring. They also had to monitor the sensors on the scan tool to make sure it wasnt a sensor. 1200 to replace the ECM, apparantly a guy comes to the workshop and calibrates the ecm -...

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark Holden! 6 year old car and its the ECU ###ed up bs My VS has been put through more shi!t than this and it is still going, must me made in china crap.

update misfire is happening again. What I have done so far Error code 0206 & 0306 - Indicates Cyl 6 misfire and injector problem New spark plugs New coils Swapped over fuel injector from Cyl 6 to Cyl5 - Cyl 6 still misfires NFI what to try next, I have read some places it could be the ecm -...

Put in some repco fuel injector cleaner in the tank, went for a good 30 minute drive and the misfire stopped while driving. Howz that $11 bottle solved my problem - fingers crossed. The misfire was intermittent before so it might come back, if it does I am sure its the fuel injector now so...

just got hold of a scan tool, got error codes p0206 and p0306 all pointing to the injector on cly 6. It did mention something about coil pack circuit 'f' or something but i didnt write the complete message down. Booked into the mechanics up the road tomorrow for testing the cables...

Hey Dave, I have the same plugs you mentioned, I also picked up the coils for $60 from repco they are the fuelwiser brands. I put some tape over it but your right it didnt have much affect. This misfire is starting to give me the shi!ts, today it wasnt happening for the first 20 minutes then...

I noticed a tear in the rubber connector (underneath, it was hiding from me) on the throttlebody - shown in this picture, could this be causing it?

Replaced all the sparks and coils, still misfiring. Next is the injector cleaning but Im not very confident.

I get a missfire (shakes the entire car) but what is weird is it comes and goes at odd times. It started last week at idle then when I thorttled up to 60kmh it stopped or atleast I couldnt feel it, then after that it didnt come back for another week. This week same thing happened at idle...

I wonder if it is the starter motor.

lo thanks guys

Fan blades are clear, the sound itself expands throughout the whole engine bay and is impossible to locate the source, even the mech I took it too couldnt work it out neither the local nrma guy. At first I thought it was the exhaust rattling because that is the closest thing to the type of...

yep, hapens when not moving or moving slowly, the noise stops above 30km/h

I recently changed the idle pulley, powersteering pump and main pulley, about two weeks later went over a bump in the road the jolted the front end a little too hard, since then I have been hearing a bad metal scraping noise coming from the engine bay. The noise is impossible to locate the...

I have an electrical problem with my vs calais. The headlights are very dim but the highbeams appear fine so do all the other lights on the car. I replaced the bulbs and this did not fix it. I have also noticed the car has had problems starting latly, I will turn the igntion and nothing...

today i swapped the wheels front to rear and checked the pressure, the problem has seem to be gone, I can feel a little vibration but not enough to be concerned, hopefully this will get me up the coast without doing my head in. I bet the problem comes back

yeah ive never been good at explaining things like this - The vibration happens at speeds in excess of 60kmh, i cant really feel it any slower than that. But definatley feels like a bump in the tyre, the faster I go the faster the vibration occurs. Guess Ill go to bo janes get them to...

Fixed it Turned out it was just a dodgy set of leads. But thnx for the advice as I think it could do with fuel injector clean.

I need some help as I am stuck on what to do? Ill start from the beginning I got all the brakes done with resurface of the rotors + 2 new tyres on the front. The next day when driving I felt grinding coming from the wheel but only when I was braking and braking at a slow speed, this...

Hi, I was hoping someone might be able to help me out, my VS calais has been recently loosing power in accelaration - slight delay on throttle but the engine does not rev in repsonse to accelarator, so I dont think its my transmission slipping, I suspect it may be something to do with the...
