need help vs stalled then shudering
hey was driving my car 2 nite did an oil flush and changed the oil today car was goin heaps smoother runing good then went for a drive 2 nite as i was bored got up to about 80 kmh then the car just turned off had enough roll to get into a servo the engine light an oil light was on so i checked the oil and transmission levels they were ok started the car stayed on for all of 2 seconds then stalled again left it 10 minutes started it and it was shaking/ shudering in park then i put it in reverse an it was worse put it in drive and it got even worse drove home as i accelerated it got worse as soon as i took my foot of the accelerater it wasnt as bad but once i started 2 slow down it got worse again the motor seems 2 be a lot louder than normal and the exhaust doesnt sound rite
if anyone can help me find out wat the problem is it would be much apreciated have taken the car to the mechanics before about the car just stalling but they dnt no wat it is
thanx heaps in advance
whilst the oil change info is good it could be random and unrelated to the oil change, check for codes, look in the how to section for info on how to do it.
thanx found out how to check the codes first thing 2 check wen i wake up
will let ya no wat happens
all the fault codes came bak to relatining to crank crank angle sensor intemittent , mass air temp high voltage , no reference signal when cranking and crank reference signal doesnt realy help me coz dnt no wat any of it is or how to fix it

Have you tried clearing the codes, as they could be old stuff that has been fixed
um nar i dnt no how to clear the codes i will look i disconnected the battery 2 day for about 5 mins and i found out wat was causeing the shuddering took me all day changed the oil agin cleaned out the air intake manifold ohh does anyone know if there is supused 2 be oil in the air intake manifold took it off an there was a build up of oil in there cleaned it out
and the problem with the car shuddering an turning itself off was one of the fuel injectors wasnt connected correctly car was runing really good till about half an hour ago took it for a really long drive then it kept turning itself off again checked all the injectors and dont no wat it could be its got me stumped thanx for all your help
Crank Angle Sensor probably (under $60 to replace). Did you take the lid off the plenum (under the "ecotec" plastic cover)? Be careful reusing the o-ring/rubber seal, as it might leak now, but with your main issue I'd say its your Crank Angle Sensor (aka "CAS")
ok thanx um yer i did take the lid off the plenum thats were the oil was its got me worried dont think there is suposed to be oil in there ill buy both on pay day and let you all no how it goes after that
ok i bought the new crank angle sensor ddnt no were it was located on the car looked around and found it such a bad spot 2 put it
just woundering if any1 has a way to get the main drive pulley only way i can think of is a rattle gun
i tried using a spanner 2day an the pully was just moving need help on this 1 plz

im gunna try that but still dnt help me with the crank angle sensor car seems to be stalling more often
needa no if there is a easier way to replace it then pull of the pulley
You need to get a helper to jam the ring gear between the transmission and motor while you use a large ratchet to take the bolt off the balancer. Take the belt off first of course by pulling the slack off it on the tensioner. Then to get the balancer off you need a 3 jaw puller. A good quality one is needed as the balancers can be a complete barge to remove. The CAS is on the lower LH side of the motor. Take it out and unplug it. Do everything in reverse but if you can do the balancer bolt up with a rattle gun. Put a little bit of gear oil on the bolt thread too.

do a compression test, sounds like youve lost a cylinder, could be camshaft or a valve spring if not one of your sensors.

UM....while you was doing the oil change if there happened to be a rag anywhere near the intake, as soon as you start up...guess what happens next....blocked intake....the engine then sucks air from anywhere it can even the crankcase could be why theres oil in the plenum....worth a look check all your intake piping for a blockage....
thanx for the reply's really apreciated i mite just see how much the mechanic will charge to change it if its a lot ill just do it my self rather have sum1 2 blame if it stuffs up lol
i have thought i had a compressin problem before but i wasnt quite sure now that some1 else thinks so i might get that checked any idea how much that costs ?? 1st year aprentice wages dont go to far lol the intake piping i was planning on doing that on the weekend never got around to doing anything to the car apart from trying to get the balancer off for about 10 minutes and realised it just aint gunna work the way i was doing it
$120 to change the crank angle sensor thats just in labour its a bit much really is there a way to get the pulley off without a pulley puller ??? coz i dnt no any1 who has got 1 i can borrow and dnt want to go buy one either just so i can use it once
does anyone know wich way the bolt spins on the pulley ?? needa no cant send 2 make mine move but dunno if it is left hand thred or rite hand thread

To undo it's anti clock wise. Just like an ordinary bolt. It will be very tight and needs to be done up tight also, to about 100nm.
Searching for the billion
as crazy said it is a normal thread so undo it anti clockwise. Best method i know is to use a long breaker bar or pipe over your breaker bar long enough to go under your drivers side chasis rail. then stand back and turn your key to on to try start the engine. the bar will wack the chasis and motor will turn and undo bolt. might take a few goes. it worked for me but be carefull doing this.
then u need a puller for the balancer.
Lash out on a gregorys or a haynes manual if your gunna DIY. They wont tell u everything but they'll give you the basics. you can make a brace for the harmonic balancer but your gunna need a puller. a cheepy fron supa chep will do it.
yer i found a way to do it got the breaker bar an put it on the ground of the passengers side on the ground kicked the motor twice and it was undone then took the other car down to supercheap bought a puller 45 dollars and it dont even fit the next size up they had was 75 i think it would just work out cheaper if i take it to the mechanic lol
Check your coil pack(s). With the car running, disconnect the injectors (one at a time) - make sure you reconnect them before disconnecting the next one. If one of the coils has gone, it should affect 2 cylinders. If the revs don't alter, there's your dead coil.
Do not disconnect the spark plug leads or use a screwdriver to short out the spark - It's possible this could damage your coils/module (according to a local mechanic).

dw mate, mine had like that oil crap built up in the plenum aswell so did 2 - 3 of my mates eco's so i wudnt worry to much, just everyy few months give it a good clean out
