code 44 beat down
changed o2 sencor ,cheanged wiring harness,checked earth,check volts,reset computer,
3rd o2 sencor in 2 months ...since its to the point of really pissing me off i have to ask could the darn engine light be still coming on due to the o2 sencor not likeing the pacemaker headders?
Real cars don't power the front wheels, they lift them
on holiday
O2 sensor lean code could be getting cold in the long headers or the cars running lean
I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
tabbacco is still my favorite vegetable
Car is running lean,just tryed changing spark plug leads
Changed MAP sencor
To morrow going to try a new set of injectors and change over the fuel pressure regulater
Also is it known for pacemaker extractors might have a leak or crack been on the car for about 6 years

mate this problem is so simple - i gather from the first post you run pacemakers? the oxy sensor is not in the optimal position. you need to drill a thread (or hole and weld a nut) closer to the location of normal headers and weld up the old hole. problem solved & thread closed.

or fit a heated VR O2 sensor

Yep mate running pacmakers , already moves the O2 sencor to as close to normal postion as possable, Looking over the Car manual the only 2 things iam yet to look at is (Check and inspect the left exhaust manifold for cracks leaks and renew if needed)(Check fuel supply for water in the fuel tank)
Or im guessing that maybe this problem may be normal due to not being Dyno-tuned but then again i havent heard anyone else complain....That i know of

what's your economy like? i get the engine light and oxy sensor code because i run gas but i don't think about it twice. if your economy is reasonable then i wouldn't worry about it
lol it used to be pretty good on fuel, till i changed the O2 sencor (code 13) now since the sencor is working again code 44 pops up and its eatin fuel like the Jack daniels drag car

is it a 6 or 8?
i had o2 issues with the vn which is also runnin pacies but ive had no issues like this what so ever.
just changed o2's and off i went again
sick of the idiots here
my two cents...
Running a set of pacies in my 6, and had O2 errors all the time. I tried everything, and it was doing my f'n head in..
Turns out that my car, the O2 sensor and ethanol fuel don't get along...
I cleaned the O2 sensor, rest computer and ditched the hippie fuel, no probs since...
(that either fixed it, or the engine light burnt out) but either way, she runs heaps better...
its a v6,
Yea tryed running some 98 vortex fuel ,tryed half a bottle of coles metho with a full tank of fuel to soak up any water that might have been i nthe tank and narr still no luck, its prolly somthing so simple just tiem and effot to find it lol

My brother is having a similar in my handed down VN Wagon. I changed the O2 sensor a while ago, seeing as it was gettin 20l/100km or so, changed it and it dropped to ~16-17l/100km.
Now its shot up again (8,000kms later) to about 180kms a tank! in a wagon! thats 68 litres!
Also the engine oil turned pitch black after ~ 1,000 kms after i serviced it. No idea why that would happen!
might be a dumb question but, did u wait to change the oil when the motor was cold an did u replace the oil filter?

motor was cold, and i did change oil filter.
hmm in that case i wouldent have a clue

Just changed the ECU,with the new ECU im getting codes 44 and 45 but i think the code 45 is poping up cause im using a vp v6 computer on a vn series 2 motor.Anyways code 44 is still alive and eating Crap tons of fuel im at my wits end adn i got no other ideas on how to fix this bugger of a thing

Use a heated sensor liek delco wizzid said, the V6 pacemakers just don't get hot enough, the sensor can't figure out what is going on and it will alternate from very rich to very lean. You could also try wraping that header in header tape (probably would fix your problem)
Wheres the best place to find a heated sensor? ebay or repco?Originally Posted by greenfoam

vn vp drag nut
could ask delco wizzid or greenfoam to just tune out the 02 sensor out all together
i wont tolerate cretins aiming to cause problems here at jc and nor will i hesitate to let the moderators know

Ok just to keep everyone up to date, still have not found the reason why code 44 is poping up, heres the update": Start it up rev it aabit and alot of black smoke is coming out, its also all ova the rear bar.
Ive spent just ova $60 on hoses and changed all the vacume lines i possably can and the basted of a car still still showing code 44 ,but only comes on after norm running temp is achived
So now if anyone has any other idea for me to try that would be great lol
