    Default VN has no acceleration

    Great Forum guys

    My problem is that my VN commodore is missing when idleing and has no acceleration when you get to 60Klmh the car was running fine until i filled up with fuel. Would this be due to :

    - Dirty Injectors
    - Dirty Spark Plugs
    - Faulty Leads
    - Bad batch of fuel
    - Or something major.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Regards

    Could also be fuel filter. Did you let it run right down before you last filled up?

    Guys

    Just to let you know i changed the following :

    - Spark Plugs
    - Spark Plug Leads
    - Fuel Filter

    The problem was still there after some testing i finally worked out that the Coil pack had S*** itself and i had to reinstall a new one cost me $360.00 but the car is now running like new again.

    Regards

    People are too obsessed with how much "power" their car makes....it doesn't make power, it produces torque, from which this mythical "power" figure is calculated.
