Massive overfuelling wont even idle

[ucwepn]

Yeah its farked so will be going into the workshop to check the ECU or coolant temp sensor, hopefully wont cost too much. It seems that there is sooo much pressure in the fuel system that it caused the hose after the high pressure pump to spring a leak and the car wont idle and is blowing huge clouds of black smoke. will let ya's know what it is on wednesday.

Check the plug on the amf, sounds just like what happened to my brother when he owned a VL

If the return line is blocked it will set the fuel pressure sky high

AFM is working fine, pull the plug out and it runs worse. It could very well be the blocked return line thing, these are things I will get them to check. There is so much fuel going in that the motor can't even burn it.

It was worth a try

[ucwepn]

Certainly was Mag cheers for the advice bro

sucks being a pedestrian.

Ok heres the story,

went to mechanics yesterday and got a reco ecu, car ran fine for 10km's then died again, went back today and got a new distributer and she is as good as gold.

Nasty old CAS was the problem lol. Had the mechanics scratching their heads for a while tho LOL

It just doesn't help that the CAS dies sooo slowwwly and the ECU won't bring up a error code until it's nearly completley dead..

hey ucwepn how much did the nasty piece of $#@ cas set u back i have exactly same problem and only worked it out when the computer brought up the error code

[ucwepn]

Well the mechanic I went to is next door to a wreckers so I got a new 2nd hand distributer for $100 fitted. They didn't charge me labour because I spent sooo much the day before on a reco ecu and the ecu was fine.

If you can't do it yourself find someone who knows all about vl's to do it for ya. don't go to a big name mechanic because it will just cost $$$$ and they couldn't tell their ass from their elbow IMO..

Oh and car is fine now, I have done around 230 km's in 2 days and all is well.

yah i was having a problem with my CAS, so i bought a second hand dissy for 88bucks and it has a 3 month warrenty, so any probs they will swap it over with a new 1

[kezza_4246]

cool thx guys but car wont even start now is it still the cas? lmao

[ucwepn]

well an engine needs 3 things to work, Fuel, spark and compression. Check things like fuel supply or distributer. Even the AFM can prevent it from starting.

My car is still playing up, am going to get in touch with JPC or another similar shop that knows VL's

well its got no fuel well maybe a litre lmao it definatly has spark and compression i dunno and whats the afm? lol

Air Flow Meter, the black sensor thing behind the air box with the cable going to it

[kezza_4246]

yep airflow is new now its bringing up 3 of the 4 previous codes 23 24 and 31 one of em is speed sensor one idle position switch or whatever it is the other is cas so airflow meter was a prob lol now i need the cas and fuel and maybe my car will start thx heaps guys u been great help
