    Default Got codes 47,48,49. a CAS Trifecta ?

    Ecotec suddenly started to hesitate last night. Not all the time but still often. Feels a bit like a dead lead or plug. Checked error codes when i got home and it spat out 47,48,and 49.
    Are they all CAS codes ? I replaced my CAS last year with one from Repco. ACA i think it was, made in Mexico. Are there any better CAS's out there ? The original one lasted about 13 years so 1 year is rubbish in comparison.

    Just Commodores - For All Your Holden Commodore Needs
    Code 47 - Crank Angle Reference Signal

    Code 48 - Cam Angle Sensor

    Code 49 - Crank or Cam angle Sensor Intermittent
    Change Cam angle sensor maybe?
    New set of leads and plugs.


    That link should read VS Fault Codes.

    Thanks Pete, leads and plugs are near new, so is the CAS, so i guess this time i'll do the Cam angle sensor and see if that solves it. All I have to do now is find one. Does anyone know if they are Holden only ? The bloke i spoke to at Repco had nothing on the system ?

    dam it. I just checked the coils in the dark as thats what it turned out to be last time i had code 47, and again when i give it some revs there are sparks all over the place around the coils. I'm assuming a dead CAS or cam sensor would not cause this and one of my coils has shat itself again. I guess the first thing i'll be buying is another coil or 2. I just have to work out which one is dead.
