    Default time for a tin of petrol and a match....

    ok, i need help....

    VS runs like a P.O.S ocassionally
    has its episode, then after a few mins, carries on about its day like nothing happened
    it never actually stops running tho, more like a carby car, when it runs outta petrol
    you get that weird miss just before it shuts down (if ya no what i mean)
    but yeah, it has never shut right down on me

    i checked the codes, and all i get is code 12, system ok, every time
    (disconnected the AFM, just to check the fault reading was working, and it works all good)

    replaced: DFI, leads, plugs, CAS, coils, intank pump and fuel filter (and not with the cheaper crud either, its been a pricey adventure trying to fix it lol)

    and this fixed nothing

    i have searched this place, and im pretty sure i done a good job
    but came up with nothing other than CAS being the main common issue, and followed by everythin i have replaced..

    can anyone offer any more advise?

    i am now thinking Injectors maybe???

    im just bout to make the planet 1 VS BT-1 less..... grrrrrr

    cheers

    Try swapping the computer with another similar VS. I've seen ECUs fix stranger problems.

    After that, try the throttle position switch and idle air controller... but I'd be swapping the whole computer first. Don't buy one, just find one for borrowsies
