    Default spluttering v6 ecotech

    hi my 1997 vs goes hard but taking off from stand still it'll miss a bit. cars done 240,000km, new CAS, fuel pump and filter have been fitted not long ago. this problem has just started to occour in the last few weeks , ill change the plugs and leads. that may eliminate the problem (it did on my vn ) any thoughts,or am i missing something here let me know cheers

    Try replacing the Coil packs on the DFI Module.
    you could always replace 1 at a time and find the dodgy one. or replace all 3 at the same time would be recommended
    the wreckers should have these

    Go and buy yourself a LS1 coil on plug setup bolt it on and i'll give you some wiring to do... expect to see a 2kw power gain... :P

    Personally i'd be investing some coin into a new 02 sensor after you've tried the coil pack and leads maby switch your MAF sensor ... then pull your inlet apart give everything a hit with some carby cleaner !

    But if you do change either the 02 or MAF sensor be sure to disconnect your battery for a good 15 mins, then take your car out and give it a hiding !
    Only push bike's have 2 peddles !

    MSD coils are the same price and sometimes cheaper than brand new standard coils, go figure. About the $220 - $250 mark.

    Why would you need to disconnect the battery?
