cbf lately but i will do that today, might check for play, did head gaskets 4000 thousand ago and they all seemed fine then but its worth a go, just want it to be fixed already lol let ya know how i go man...

hey guys just another thread lol, but i am seeking fresh ideas about my vt v6 s2 auto, after having checked every possibble thing as far as engine management goes, i am leaning towards a collapsed lifter, or maybe a worn cam, or a slack timing chain....it occasionally rattles like the dreaded...

ummm u cant replace the ones in the fuel fittings, but there are 2 on each injector though, would probably be best to get new ones just to be sure angainst fuel and vacuum leaks... carby cleaner, probably wouldn't go astray lol didn't think of that.... um PCV valve lets the engine draw in fresh...

with the paper gaskets silicone not important, but security if u do... with the rubber ones a little oil and sometimes grease i the groove will hold the hold the rubber seal in to groove till u can get it in all the way around.... if u get stuck u know where im at....

righto first of all maybe a haynes or gregorys manual might be ur best mate here, for a little more step by step guidance, but as a grease monkey ill try to explain it ya lol, hold on.... to clean the rails, best to probably run some fuel in it and shake it and i mean shake it, make sure...

u can replace the inner bit of the regulator, held in by the circlip depending on how ur hoses and fuel fittings on the rail are, u have to replace the whole fuel rail, regulator and hoses with fittings

hope he can regass it then lol, and properly or ur asking for problems...

btw u need the bcm for the instrument cluster....

hey bud, if u get a vn ecu i think.... well im pretty sure that they dont have issues with that, then pretty much rewire it all lol haha if u wanna wait a few months ill do it and find out cos i wanna change my vt ecu for a vn so i can have the benefit of a map sensor and a bit more poke...

un plug the snesor and get ur multimeter on resistance and check the resistance across the ECT sensor pins, at 20 degrees resistance should be about 3,555 ohms at 100 degrees it should be about 180 ohms, at the harness there should be 5.0 volts on one side and open on the other... so if your...

yeah thats him, ill have a look and test mine and see what i get...

hey bud if u want a decent sound definatly a sports exhaust of some sort wheather its a bolt on from the cat back or tuned exhaust system, on a v6 a twin cat is a waste of time and money, they sound s**t just like a tractor, and cannons arn't that great they sound like an import, i gotta 2.5...

42 psi under load and idle perfect, might do flow test on it tho....

ok i can close it now.... yes fuel gauge is spot on.... not sure how the lean running comes into the findings while using so much fuel, but anyway, i come home today and i thought that well i should just check everything... so i stated at the bottom, checked left bank o2 sensor, all ok, checked...

can u define a little bit please bud, you should have one for the pretensioner which should have a yellow plug and sheath over it at the bottom near the slide rail and depending on what parts move what is electronic on it??? just front and back up and down????

hey bud if u have a look at the thermostat housing on the front of the engine where the upper radiator hose comes out, to the right there and down a little( u may have to remove the engine trim cover { 4 10mm nuts}) there is a little sensor with two wires in it, that is the ECT sensor, i suggest...

well, no vac leak, used a whole tank of 95 octane to do 200 ks... wtf is what im thinking... no one has or can pinch the fuel, nor have i got a leak, its beyond me it runs lean and even smells lean, but uses lots of fuel..... someone please shed some light or ideas on the situation please...

i will double check but u can always smell and/or hear a leak, but i shall see....

negatory mate nothing it is sealed up tighter than a ticks arse....

hey guys any help on this issue would be good.... now the car is a VT2 V6 2000 model. now some of u guys have probably read the other thread of mine about the idle....anyway for some reason it is running lean as, exhaust is hot like really hot, but is still using the same amount of fuel if not...

haha yeah i reckon must be the 3.9 stroker, lol... um yeah bud it does have 2.5 catback but it is definatly missing, and using way too much fuel, gonna do a trip tomoro on the highway to see how much its using and whether it is just the stop and start sh*t....

yeah, well it wasn't expensive just one with a labscope n that to make life easier, but as long as i can see sensor data and trouble codes im happy...

roger... i beleive it could be... wait for my scan tool to rock up and see how we go, ha iv'e used a quarter of a tank to do about 40-50 ks.... WTF... on premium.... houston we have a problem

wtf happened i thought that my post didnt go thru, haha twas on the other page

well, magnet is still there and the cage.... checked all the wiring and resistance tested, all ok.... dont know now.... maybe a knackered MAF or CPS sensor i guess, does anyone know if the steering gear is ajustable, gave a caning yesterday now its clunking like f*ck, so if anyone knows if they...

well just checked then the magnet is still there, sensor and magnet are ok, might have a broken wire, or a knackered sensor... ill shall get into it i think, once again..... any more ideas would be good...

cheers bud was looking for a picture of magnet..... got one now.... na bud i use windex and a toothbrush... gets all the dirt off it and is all good.... even after reset the same 4 codes are still there... well they clear but come back....

hey thanks mate pulled cam angle sensor out the other day, the sprocket just had hole in it no cage no nothing..... might have some **** rolling around in the bottom of the timing cover i think.... tomoro job i beleive... i thought the pick up worked by magentism when the sprocket went around...

well, finally got xome codes out of it today.... bout time...ended up with 32,44,48,76 now im not sure what sensors are linked on the same circuit as one another but, i have got 32 for MAF sensorsignal missing, 44 for lean exhaust, 48 for camshaft sensor signal missing and 76 for short term fuel...

injectors are new bud, brand new VDO ones....

and whenever i rev it without it in gear or the ac or lights on it misses on one cylinder not full on tho, but distinct, but then other times it wont do it when its cold it wont do it only when its hot i am f*cked for ideas.... the only thing i havnt done is the DIS/DFI module so maybe that is...

some reason when starting up in morning.... right.... it starts, and or take about 2-3 seconds to start, then revs to about 1400 like normal, then stumbles n mumbles and carries on for 5 seconds or so then runs fine.... even if i cycle the key 3-4 times to build fuel pressure still doesnt make...

yeah but all that is good, coils are brand new, leads are new, heat sheilds on or off no difference, replaced CAS today, acceleration is bit better and snap neck kick when u plant it but still slightly surging/idling rough under no load.....

does anyone know if the VT V6 2000 model is OBDII compliant or only OBDI ???

cheers bud will do, let ya know how i go...

well hey guys, well after rooting around checked the wngine harness for broken wires and high resistance the other day srill no good, but getting a scan tool short;y so see how it all looks, idling the other day in gear for about 2-3 minutes then the engine light came, ran like a kitten but the...

already done, checked all EGR the other day all is good.... there is no fault codes in there at all.... f*cks me

depends how worn the engine is mate but go for a comp. test should not differ anymore than 10% from the highest and lowest reading depending on how it goes a slight leak possibly valves or a craked head, large leak more than likely a head gasket.... good luck

hey bud, check your plugs, leads and coil packs, if possible replace/swap with known good ones... if no good then replace fuel filter, mine did same thing till this process of elimination, also check if ur exhaust has oil in it, if so ur PCV valve under the plenum is probably stuck open or leakin
