Hey everyone im new here, nice to meet you all, but my vs ute does the same thing on cold starts, ive asked ppl bout it n looked into it, apprently its just how our engine starts up and there isnt anything wrong with it cus all my mates ecotecs does the same thing, hope this was helpfull

go to your tool kit, grab your tourque wrench and procede to smack you mates in the head with it hahahaha, just kiddin bro.

na bro its not right, ive had my vs for 7 months and its only just started doing it this month, you and your mates should start trouble shooting with your cars, find out what is causing the problem in each car etc, ive resined my self to the fact that my mechanical skill are not good enough to fix this problem, so i think ill go hungry for the next month and just take her in to the local holden stealership and get them to fix it, because its just being a pain in the a$$

awsome, yeah cus ive always wondered why on a cold start it takes a bout 5 or 6 secs to start it sounds pretty bad aye, i though changing my oil to a 5-50 fully synthetic oil wud help but nah it didnt

that sounds like mine used to untill i changed the injectors, they werent spraying right anymore.

oh true i shud run a total fuel cleaner through it n see how it goes, or do u reakon they mite be stuffed, did urs start as soon as u turned key once u changed the injectors?

 

[big balls]

if u get them cleaned properly, and make sure they are spraying properly, im in darwin and got mine done for $33 a plug so will proborbly be cheaper where you are but yea well worth it dont think using injector cleaner is a waste of time. and yea after i got all the air out of the system in wound over once or twice and started. havent had a problem since.

ahh kk cheers man, 33 each isnt too bad of a price not sure what it will be here
