    Default Engine only running on 4 Cylinders

    Half through a 200km trip the VX dropped cyl 3&6 (no spark). Stopped at the servo natually I offed free advice by another commodore driver who said one of the coil packs had packed it in. I'v swapped over the coil packs, but 3&6 still have no spark.

    HELP???

    Benny

    got the Commodore home 200km ok on 4 cyls.

    Hey mate I had the same problem in my VT, it was the coil pack also however I need the entire ignition module replaced (its basically the base plate that all the coil packs run off)

    Hope that helps

    As above, i'd be checking your dfi module. Also give it an oil change asap as your sump will be full of unburnt fuel which has contaminated your oil.
    Cheers

    Maybe check the 'plugs and leads too; one cylinder not firing will kill it's paired cylinder also.
