- HSV VS Senator
OK Gents my first time on the forum, be gentle..
I have a VS Senator 185 series II, owned it from brand new....
It is now starting to show its age 185 K It has been maintained as per the book and then some and suddenly after a week off the road, not by any mechanical failure it has gone to hell and back.
Things found so far.. Fuel regualtor on back of injector frame seized, replaced it. Low fuel pressure , replaced fuel pump..
Now it is a real Pain to start, basically will try to start but does not for a long time, turns over , coughs splutters then dies, seems to be starved of fuel but pressure and volume is fine. It is like it is even becoming flooded,basically have to jump it to get it going after I flatten the battery in it. Takes about 5 minutes of continuous cranking.
Codes and modes for those that know error 12 system passed and error 31 no security signal .. Is this the cause?
Any ideas would be appreciated as I know a little but thats it. I have a mechanic who is now really confused as well. Previous symptoms were it idled badly and sometimes under load backfired. I was thinking maybe the O2 Sensor but this is a new issue.. Weh n its started its fine and when warms up even better. Battery maybe?
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
