    Default Misfiring/backfiring etc

    Help Help Help....Vp Berlina......missing and farting round...........

    Starts immediately runs smoothly........and if you take off gently, no problem.will get to any speed you like..........BUT when you put your foot down to overtake etc... it backfires and misses and no power........ if you ease up it is fine got new leads and plugs got a new Coil pack sitting here but the resistance on the old ones and the new onw are identical.........anyone got any Idea I would be most gratefyl.

    Thanks.........Kilarney

    i take it you have a v6 vp commodore mate:..

    backfiring

    try checking plug gap, leads youve done , coilpack and dfi module (coilpack sits on DFI module) make sure all the wires are all plugged in good etc - but may still be faulty

    Coil pack. Resistance can measure up good and still be stuffed. you might be able to work out which one is dead by checkin in the dark for sparks.

    mine starts and runs smooth as when cold, once warm she pops and grumbles on idle. It happens in a repeated pattern every 10-15 seconds on idle.
