- vs commodore V6 S2 and a BA XR6T
hi, VS commodore v6 188000 on clock
yesterday hoped in and went for a drive, got to corner (about 1 k up road) and then went to go and felt like it had no power similar to a missfire.
so today i replaced coils and dfi from my mums car as she has a vy commodore but was still the same. then i replaced spark plugs and leads as they are due for it.....still the same. so tried the throttle position sensor still the same.
so basically what its doing is, 1st gear is ok but when it gets into second then third etc and revs up to round 2500rpm its like the brakes are applied and the car just revs very very very slowly to 4000rpm with full throttle and smells like exhaust fumes when you get out of car.
BUT when it finally gets to 90kph and tourq converter locks up revs drop down and it goes like a roket like nothings wrong.
any ideas?
