    Steering Lock Spacers

    I think the other issue I came across was the space in the well, I was going to have to cut out the guards (which is a normal import thing to do for extra lock) atm my mates import is at 89 degree lock.

    Steering Lock Spacers

    Honestly never got round to doing anything for it. I started to research putting in components from other cars (like a Nissan R or S chassis) but never got round to it. I was thinking keeping my strut towers (I had coilovers Holden Commodore VR VS VT VX VY VZ Front Only Coilovers XYZ Racing...

    Vt injector/fuel pump fuse Questions

    Nope, no LPG, or signs of one being there in the past. And its not the relay in question atm, I believe it will be either pump, pump wiring, or injector wiring. I might check the fuel pump when i get a chance and go from there.

    Vt injector/fuel pump fuse Questions

    I do eventually need to take the tank off to get the fuel sender (the awesome little do dad that tells you how much fuel you have out) I might just wire an inline pump into a jerry can to see if this fixes the issue. Ill check what i can this arvo and see how I go.

    Turbo Kit?

    I was looking at this for my ecotec. I was going to go the path of the l67 heads. But you would be needing a rebuild if you don't want to extremely shorten the life of you're engine

    Missfire problem

    Mine recently did this, i did an ecu reset and havent had a single issue yet. Even got better fuel economy, (600 Ks to 40L on std unleaded) I have no mods what so ever.

    VT V6 stall and missing

    Could perhaps be alternator related, Like the ecu doesnt get the right voltage, (like the fan puts too much strain on the electrics) and then stalls out. And yes, there is a large wire on the back of the alternator which does degrade, I had one let go on me and luckily i only noticed because...

    Vt randomly switching off then on

    So I did the error check after i did 300ks, and still nothing has popped up, funnily enough though this reset has also fixed my fuel economy. Before I would get 450ks to 48L Now I have done 300ks and have used 15L....

    Vt randomly switching off then on

    Ok, I did this to reset my error codes. Now its not doing the valve bounce/hesitating, and has yet to randomly switch off, did 100 ks this morning and will do an error check this afternoon to see what I get. A few months back I did an error check and had these and made a few repairs. 24...

    Vt randomly switching off then on

    Clean tight terminals (starter motor issues atm so check them regulary) 13.85 volts (still the same since i rebuilt it) Tested with my multimeter haha. I might have to do another error test.

    Vt randomly switching off then on

    I have had DFI's fail, this is different, only happens at one spot on the revs and i think its actually only in one gear. Definitely only happens when under load, never when in neutral.

    Vt randomly switching off then on

    Also when it does do its hesitation/valve bounce, i noticed that the lcd readout light would dim everytime it "bounced"

    Vt randomly switching off then on

    So the last two days my VT (v6 ecotec) has been switching off then switching on (ie driving along the engine will stall then restart and all lights on the dash come on then disappear) Since this has started happening, when i am driving at 100ks and put my foot into it and the revs reach 4-5...

    Check Engine Light

    Hmm, I disconnected the battery and turned the lights on to drain the rest of the power to reset the codes. And when i started the car this morning it seemed very hesitant taking off from idle, it slowly fixed it self though so ill see how it goes on the drive home, Would this just be the ecu...

    cant put throttle down

    Could be your DFI module, mine did that a while back, was on track for 5 hours straight and fried the dfi. ran lumpy and was missing on a cylinder. Could be dirty/incorrectly set spark plugs, leads could be shorting out, coil might be intermittently dying, or DFI. Pull your plugs off one by...

    3.8L coolant draining problem

    If its got oil in it still, disconnect your top and bottom hose and start the car, after maybe 30 secs of the car running all the water should be out. Just as another option anyway This will not damage your engine, its only idling and not heating up as long as you dont run it too long.

    key doen't engage starter

    Hmm mines done it on two different engines though, cas was replaced when the new engine was rebuilt, Its something in the wiring or ECU/BCM but cant single it down to anything.

    Or make sure you arent over filling your gearbox and it isnt just leaking out the breather, my manual getrag box only takes 2 ls of oil in one go.
