    Engine revving by itself

    I do remember you saying that in this thread a while back. I still don't remember it being this "harsh" before I had the headers and cats fitted.

    Engine revving by itself

    So I had a retune done and it's still doing this kicking down gears on steep descents. The tuner says it's supposed to do it? I also did read in the manual about "Powertrain braking" where the car will downshift to keep the revs up on steep descents. Is it really that the car is supposed to do...

    Engine revving by itself

    Hi all, Slight update. So two other performance shops reckon it's the current tune I have. Not being tuned correctly after the exhaust mods. Looks like I'll need a re-tune and I hope to Christ that solves it.

    Engine revving by itself

    Hi guys, Apologies for the late reply. Still having this issue sadly. A slight update is that I found out the problem does not occur when using the manual sports shift. From what I can tell, it appears to be kicking down gears (can't remember if I mentioned this) on those certain downhill...

    A/C not blowing as hard under acceleration

    Hi guys, VE SS here. Now that it is summer, I've noticed something happening with my A/C. Under acceleration it won't blow as hard but it is still cool. When I pull up at the lights for example, it will return to higher blowing power. It is an Aerpro aftermarket AC. I had a new compressor and...

    Anyway to see a gear display?

    Hi guys, A silly question but is there anyway to see a display of what gear you're in on an auto VE? I mean just using regular auto, not the sports shift. Cheers.

    2010 SS VE workshop manual

    Hi all, I've found this manual https://www.allcarmanuals.com/factory-service-manual-214-Holden-Commodore-VE.html which says 2006 to 2013. However upon downloading It's actually 2007-2009. Will this work for a 2010 VE SS? If not, does anyone know where I can get a 2010 one? Cheers

    Engine revving by itself

    It really doesn't seem right to me. There's like a jolt/jab before the gear change which I don't like. Is there anyway to solve this?

    Engine revving by itself

    I tried a new accelerator pedal and it wasn't it. You mean kick back like a sort of acceleration jab resulting in high RPM? Surely it's not supposed to do it though...

    Engine revving by itself

    I replaced the accelerator pedal, took it for the same drive and no luck. The problem occurred at the exact time and distance. I've noticed it always starts when slowing down and going down a hill. I'll have my foot on the brake going down an incline and it will do the acceleration "jab" and...

    Replacing MAF sensor?

    We didn't replace the 02 sensors with new ones. I opted to reuse the same ones as I thought it was just another expense. I had been wondering if this was an 02 sensor issue...

    Replacing MAF sensor?

    The VCM OTR was installed before I owned the car (previous owner). The receipt in the booklet that came with the car says the OTR was purchased in 2015 so I assume around then. The issue might not have even occurred the tune I suppose. I'm not a mechanic myself so I've no idea how the parts...

    Replacing MAF sensor?

    My brother installed the extractors and cats. The problem started after that. The exact problem existed before the tune though so how could it be that? I did take it back to the tuner and they said they couldn't fault it. Mind you, I think they only took it for a small drive so the problem...

    Replacing MAF sensor?

    I'm actually not sure if it was a MAFless tune but I would assume no. Why is the tune wrong if there is no visible contamination? This issue was happening before the tune also.

    Replacing MAF sensor?

    It has been scanned. No codes are present which makes all of this just guess work. I'm in Canberra

    Engine revving by itself

    I was going to try replace the pedal assembly next as it sounds like it could be that. I just find it strange how it started after the headers and cats got installed but it could be a coincidence if it is the pedal.

    Replacing MAF sensor?

    Hi all, This is sort of a continuation/separate thread to here https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/engine-revving-by-itself.285244/ VE auto SS here with a VCM OTR.

    Engine revving by itself

    It definitely does seem to be down shifting when this occurs and the RPMs are excessively high for the speed I'm going. Could the MAF sensor be the problem? I have a VCM OTR.

    Engine revving by itself

    I've had it tuned. The problem was occurring before the tune and still after it. I took it back and they couldn't find anything wrong with it (it usually only happens after 40+ minutes of driving). Not 100% sure. It says the average fuel at 5km/h is about 11L/100? Operating temp seems table. Not...

    Engine revving by itself

    Yeah I've got an OTR with the MAF inbtween the OTR and the throttle body. By turtle on top are you referring to the engine cover? If so, yes it is on. No cruise control on at time of issue. With scan tool connected, when it happens APP remains at 0% and the TPS was sitting at roughly 5% with no...

    Engine revving by itself

    Hi guys, I installed a new throttle body, took it for the usual drive and after 30 to 40 mins of driving started doing the same problem, after the same distance. Anyone know what else this could be? It only seems to have started after we fitted new headers and cats. Still no engine codes...

    No code at all. My brother who is a mechanic has scanned it and no codes at all. He also thrinks throttle body.

    Engine revving by itself

    Hi all, VE auto SS here. It has recently started revving by itself. I'll be driving a long and the acceleration will "jab" when I don't have my foot on the accelerator. Sometimes it will rev up to 3000 RPM and stay there for a bit and then goes back down and corrects it self. The problem will...

    Heat sleeves

    Thanks for the help guys. I'll pick some of the ones from Supercheap up. Do you think there is a chance of anything else melting from the extractor heat?

    Heat sleeves

    Hi guys, I just had some Xforce headers and cats installed in my 2010 VE. I've heard it could be a good idea to get something to protect the cables inside the engine from the heat. Has anyone else done this and what did you use? Could something like this be ok...

    Tougher, louder sound

    Ok looks like I'll have to go Xforce. I've just noticed there is this "long tube" version to suit 7 Series Xforce https://www.performanceexhaust.com.au/p/Extractors/By-Model/HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VF/HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VE-VF-V8-6.0LT-6.2LT-XFORCE-1.7-8/HS-VF83KIT I have no idea if mine is a 7 series...

    No reason at all. I just hadn't had them recommended to me yet. Xforce seem to do the package too...

    Tougher, louder sound

    I'm aware of that. I've currently got an Xforce 3" twin exhaust catback. I wasn't planning on changing that. However, yes I'm aware it's not guaranteed it'll sound exactly like the one in the video.

    Ah yes that would help!

    Tougher, louder sound

    I looked at a Youtube video of a guy with a VE who had a great sound. Had a setup very similar to this https://www.performanceexhaust.com.au/p/Holden/VE-VF-UTE/6.0-6.2/HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VE-V8-6.0-6.2-TUNED-1.7-8-HURRICA/HU450STM30K Looks good? Edit: Link to the video

    Tougher, louder sound

    My older brother who is an experienced mechanic says he'll be able to fit these. I'm thinking of now ordering the parts myself. Can anyone recommend some good high flow cats and 4in1 headers that will fit my VE with a 3" Xforce exhaust. Thanks!
  34. D

    Tougher, louder sound

    Local exhaust place said they can do high flow cats and Advance 4 into 1 headers for $2300

    Tougher, louder sound

    Yeah that is understandable and thanks. There's a local exhaust place here that looks good so I might give them a call and see.

    Cat converter? I'm not sure. I haven't had the car for that long and the previous owner had done these mods. How can I check that?

    Airbag light blinks at startup

    Hi all, I had my SS VE serviced yesterday and have realised the airbag icon on the dash blinks 7 times at startup (it doesn't stay on). I don't think it was doing this before. Is this ok or is it an airbag problem?
