Hey everyone!
Im new here and not sure if im posting this in the right area lol
My dad bought me a VK commodore back in April, there a quiet a few things wrong with it but as my dad is no longer talking to me i have no one to help
I know a lil about cars (i have fixed most of the cars prob so far) just terrible with diagnoising the problems so here goes:
New motor is in idles fine but after stoppin or slowing down when going to take off i have to baby it like it takes a good minute to get it up to 60kms or i have to flatten my foot and pray it doesnt die, 7/10 it stalls and im left to roll through intersections and with only one brake light n no hazards it can freak me out a bit!
Also there is a small rapid ping/tinging sound coming from under the hood i dnt know if this is related or not!
I dont have a lot of money so its a slow project for me but im really trying as i love this car soo much and couldnt bear to part with it but i am supposed to be leaving for a 1300km trip in 2 days and as is its in no way ready for the trip
Any advice or help would be much appricated, i dnt know how this site works but if people want im willing to provide a contact number
