seems like timings out
car is backfiring, running like it has only five cylinders will idle good sometimes and runs well then just die but will still idle, if you accelerate it dies or wants to,wait it will start and run well but returns not long after ,new fuel filter, changed internal pump of fuel tank new plugs and leeds does this sound like cas as this is what ive been told driving me crazy lol hellllllllpppppppppppp
<<<There's a good present
usually when the cas stuffs out the car won't run at all. usually. Hows the dizzy cap and rotor button. might have a fouled up points.
cleaned them up but really they looked good anyway

hmmmm. have you reset the ECU? what diagnosis codes have come up too?
it did have speed sensor code and air con but reset and have gone not returned
<<<There's a good present
when i take to mechanic runs good should sell it to him lol
i followed instructions on this site i think maybe you posted?????????
<<<There's a good present
maybe your CAT is blocked too? how old is it? if leads and plugs are stuffed then the car will run rich and that chews out your CAT. possibility.

catalytic covertor. at the end of your exhaust manifold. it joins the manifold to the exhaust pipe.
America just kicked in yo
Catalytic converter (on the exhaust under the passenger seat). It sounds to me like it could be the Air flow meter. Its always the same things that go on vl's, CAS, AFM,fuel pumps, O2 sensors and coolant temp sensors.

we've eliminated the sensors effectively. All thats left really is the AFM and the CAT. i'm just sussing out the CAT first.

you'll still have a CAT though. it'll be at the end of the extractors. if it rooted it'll make the car play up cos it gets blocked. when it totally collapses the car will be lucky to go 20km/hr. so is it old?Originally Posted by ghostmobile
whole exhaust is only six months old
<<<There's a good present
are you sure it wasn't replaced from the CAT back. The whole thing was done from extractors to exhaust tip?
no just went out and checked is bloody old but would the car go well and die occasionally?
picking up new dizzy tomorrow wont hurt as it is old anyway
is there a way to test if it is blocked other than taking it off?
<<<There's a good present
yep. that could be what your problem is. best way is to buy new gaskets for it and pull it out and have a look down the guts of it. the wire mesh inside will be all bent instead of dead flat. i reckon shes your problem.
<<<There's a good present
gaskets aren't expensive. at the same time though you'd probably get them when you buy a CAT so keep the receipt incase you do need to buy a CAT and the gaskets come with it. If you end up needing a CAT buy a hi-flow one and put it in yourself. You may get a lukey one from repco. exhaust shops will charge about 300 to replace. might get one for 150 or so if luvky and throw it in yourself.
thx for your patience bangers very much appreciated,the wife thinks i can look at car and tell her whats wrong straight away her f.... up attitude been pissing me off as we dont have alot of money really and i feel this pressure if i get it wrong that i just wasted money really dont help the brain to think but thx heaps i may aswell do cat anyway hopefully that ll fix it
<<<There's a good present
well for your sake i hope i'm not wrong then. we must have the same missus! goodluck. as i said pull it out to check first, and take it to someone if your not sure to confirm its rooted.
cheers so u dont need a wife then lol
