    OBD11 diagnostic tool

    Mate vt/vx commodore v6s are not obdII. Yes they have the obdII plug but do not run the protocol. So those elm327 will not work. Go on eBay and buy a aldl cable and use Tunerpro RT. You can find fault codes, reset srs, even write custom bin files to ur ecu.

    Vx srs airbag light

    More common to be the clock spring in my experience. However I have used a continuity meter on an apparent faulty one and could not find a break in the ribbon cable. Spun it around but remained constant. Yes was on the airbag not horn or radio controls. Ended up finding out it was not the...

    Fuel filter is probably clogged. Hessitation, Heavy feeling, lack of power, Rough idle, Stalling. Check IAC for proper function.

    Replace the TPS Again? Or is it the IAC?

    IAC control's the idle. TPS tells the ECU what the throttle is doing during operation. Bad fuel eco can be caused by: o2's. MAF. Fuel filter. IAT. And the general service item's like plug's lead's. If you are having idle issue's, Then i'd look at the IAC for proper function. If you...

    White light dash conversion

    If you were to remove the green film, You would be left with warm white. Using the standard bulb's. If you want to go white, I'd suggest do some soldering and install SMD's. That way you will not have hot spot's, And the light will be alot more even. Using plain old LED's in the standard...

    Vt problems

    Best thing to do, If you think the tyres are in RWC condition. Take the car to a well known tyre shop, Get them to check the tyre's in question, And if they say they are fully RW, Then get them to write something out to state that the tyres are fine and up to spec. Take it back to the RWC...

    Muffler plugged, overheating

    Take it off, And try stick something thrugh it to dissipate the blockage. Or, Take the muffler completly off. If it's that bad. It will be loud, But if it's blocked really bad, It may be the only way.

    Optimum air pressure for 19inch rims?

    36-39psi should see you in the right direction. Personal prefrence comes into it a bit. I used to run 39psi, I now run 36psi. I noticed a slight increase in fuel useage. 0.01 on the dash.

    Yeah, Well that mean's there is no error's. If it repeats over 3 time's then that's the only code logged. Crank Angle Sensor, Is a possibility. Worth a look over. Also check the MAF, Manafold Air Flow meter. Located next to the air box.

    Front speakers to run off headunit?

    I'd always choose component's over coax.. The sound is alot more even i guess you could say. They are a bit more complex to install over coax. Powering them off you're headunit, Is fine. But, You won't truly hear what they can do untill you amp them. Once you add a subwoofer to you're...

    10,10,1,2, = 0012, System OK. Have you checked the CAS? For future refrence. 10 = 0. Code will repeat 3 time's. Then, It will dispaly the folowing error if any.

    VT Exec Series 1 missing 4th gear at temp

    Check for error's? Check both plug's on the transmission. You could try a ECU reset, See if that get's rid of the issue. Otherwise, It will be something inside the transmission like a valve or solenoid. In that case, It would be easier to take it to a trans shop. Good Luck

    smells bad

    They don't have a filter. The intake is under the plastic cover where the windscreen wiper's bolt on. It may be a slightly leaking heater core, Enough to soak the intake area.
