    Unhappy VL troubles

    Hi everyone

    Ok then here is the problem . Yesterday I bought new oil,filters,plugs and plug leads for my VL and gave it general service and now it's running like a peice of crap and blowin BLACK smoke lol wich the car has neva done since i've had it and i'm thinking that it might be either the CAS or air flow meter . Can anyone here tell me if it is posible to test them with a multimeter or something and how ? Please ?

    Thanx in advance maxpower

    Ok i found another air flow meter and put it on and the car ran worse so i conected my multimeter to pins 1. & 6. which gave a reading of about 7.09 VOLTS so i turned the screw til it was reading 3.56 VOLTS , I'm not entirely sure that its fixed my AFM problem but the car seems to have a hell of a lot more pick up and run waay smoother through the revs n stuff . Now my CAS is starting to pack it in

    cas is easy to do. i thought it was hard and i was like "is that it" just be carefull with the optical plate in it, not to bend it, and theres a washer on each side of the bearing which i didnt know about till i put it mostly back together and saw them stuck to the old bearing.
    lol
    This is good site to watch.I found it informative as I have been researching a lot lately on such matters such as you talk about.

    Ok i've been looking at couple crank sensors on ebay but not sure what one would work in my car ? My VL has a nissan manual ECU in it and i've been told by a guy from work that the holden CAS won't work with a nissan ECU , would this be true ? And how can i tell a holden CAS from a nissan CAS ?
