Lube the Bailey channels with silicon spray or grease and keep lubing them and it should work okay if their going down. If stuuck you can with palm of your hand press up or down on window while depressing switch to get it going. Work all windows at least once a week.

Must be some way to repair seats with wobble play. It's something that a solutmust be found for given originality is important and good SH seats will increasingly be hard to find.

During the mild resto 10 years ago I purchased an AC belt from Holden.......and it's actually a toothed belt to prevent issues discussed. Trouble is its so tight I couldn't get it on regardless of persuasion.....evenwith idler off.......I didn't want to unbolt compressor. So it's now in the...

Kudos for your rebuild. Thinking with the popularity of our cars it won't be long before someone fabricates an evaporator. The heavy AC pipes can be rebuilt. They rebuild the metal fitting on new hose......had mine replaced along with condenser and compressor. Weakness with our cars is they...

When replacing speedo cog use gear that is 1 piece (unlike 2 piece that fits one on top of the other and lasts about 15k). Had a quick look on ebay, couldn't find them today but they are there somewhere, from memory black in colour, otherwise try an instrument place. The 2 piece cogs become...

May be corroded., terminals to socket , probably why not working . Try spraying cleaner while gently levering up and down. Then see my earlier post on this topic.

If you don't want to readjust the pot for frequency melt a drop of wax from a candle or something on pot.

A very very light eucalypt, visor & clips.

Did you try to get codes as described by @Having A Break ? If you did and got no response reseat ECU connector and connections from ECU to module. Sometimes with these cars when good connections are disturbed a poor one may ensure so they need cleaning and reseating. You should get error...

Whilst idling at home tap module with back of screw driver and check for a response. See my thread. Thread 'Car stalled on coasting' https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/car-stalled-on-coasting.301509/ Let us know how you go.

Didn't think of that. Like I said previously it ran okay just with internal pump. I suppose then if it failed if one wanted to keep a stock feel I wonder what the correct external pump would be? Remember looking once before and only seeing genuine internal ones .

That's interesting given I suppose with the longer wheelbase fuel has longer to travel in the Statesman. I suppose then the 2 pumps and larger regulator was for the supposedly sporty SS even though advertisied KW was the same. Maybe they suppose SS drivers are more leadfooted.

So @MikeC I take it you replaced your 2 pump set up in your Statesman with a single pump. Any difference starting or otherwise?

Certainly long ownership.....feel like, it's part of the family lol. Truth is I had access to company vehicles alot of the time so it just sat.....maybe I'd take it out every couple of weeks, always registered. Always ran well with its many minor quirks and only briefly left me stranded twice...

Interesting, so if they fail go with a single in tank one. As I've mentioned elsewhere I've owned the car since 1994 and at the time the sales myth was that they ran 2 pumps so 1 primed for perfect starting :D. I kmow now reading the schematics they are both wired to prime simultaneously but...

As a matter of interest what would people recommend for a replacement for the outside of tank pump for a stock style 2 pump set up if one wants to keep 2 pump set up as per factory?

That's the date stamp. Maybe horn button has been swapped and steering wheel is from a non GMH car.

If you are sure you are getting a no spark condition and the coil isn't getting power I would troubleshoot all wiring off coil following schematics. If you try an ECU careful with non reconditioned items as they may also be faulty....happened to me.

Sounds like previous owners never had it started. May simply be something not plugged in right.

Real shame people don't complete threads.

Post in thread 'Car stalled on coasting' https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/car-stalled-on-coasting.301509/post-3386929 Try that troubleshooting process.

Those terminals need cleaning......high resistance connections cause this..........overheating and poor connections. I clean all with electrical contact cleaner and applied a thin smear of conductive grease on relay pins to prevent corrosion . Years ago had my high beam relay terminal melt...

Discrimination against Aussie cars. While overseas made diesel uts getting subsidies not so long back.

From memory there is a clip which once moved ,removed allows for linkage to come out. Think outside square...as @HarryHoudini said it's a 10 minute job.

I'm now thinking as I done with module that all joints need to be be reflowed/ soldered once problems arise on a PCB. Was initially apprehensive about reflowing IC joints but saw the halo's so done so......with time gaps between each terminal alternating between ICs to avoid heat damage and...

Good point. Certainly, when I started in the technical industry late 80s it was talked about....but everyone was using leaded solder, so I don't have definite proof but I would say the VN had leaded solder PCBs.. Note that later model cars used more dampers like our cruise control units and...

Certainly am. One wonders what these newer cars and electric vehicles will be like in the future.......probably unfixable. Now I have to get around to the cruise control unit.:( Mild winter in Sydney and obviously dry joints didn't play up much. Maybe 2 or 3 times and I ironically saw cruise...

That's why I reconditioned this one, and passed on info. Some of the knock off's are poor but at least they exist. Remember late 80s ,90s it was hard to get parts for older cars and non genuine items were woeful. Was considering a nuclear powered module reconditioned unit from ebay, seems...

Is battery good? Earths? V8? Need for Information.

Photo loaded with description. Check post #30.

How do I load photos? Says to file to big.

Update; Solved. Was the module , and more specifically dry joints on module PCB. Took it of car and access to PCB is by simply lifting plate off rear.. At this point the way I repaired it is. 1) Unsolder terminals off transistor in cut out on PCB x 3, and unsolder 2 x terminals off...

Especially clean all connections on recently replaced parts. Then try run car for a day or two to settle. Had codes after replacing sensors, rough running....a day or two it sorted itself. Troubleshoot methodically and replace fewer parts. Keep ECU connections in mind.....push up into plug.

Update; Engine stalling still intermittent but finally got it at no start state. Started troubleshooting with a view to isolate problem to hall effect sensor and wiring or module and wiring. Using a low voltage 6/12v test light disconnecting the main 6 pin connector off module I bridged grey...

Really appreciate the run down. Super help whether I need to go down this route or for anyone else viewing the thread. My plan is to buy Jaycar sensor in any case. Looks like I will need to solder wires onto my connector. Great explanation re drive key. So it's vertical under circlip. Now I...

Interesting. That would have taken some troubleshooting. Was probably an earth loading down module. Must check this. Funny looked at module and saw a little corrosion on small nut holding transistor on heat sink and got me thinking. I replaced coil with square genuine one (Bosch ) just as a...

Really appreciate the tips and diagrams. Cheers. Looking at diagram the interruptor ring is item4 listed as toothed disc. Thinking if this indeed is fault it may be doable in car perhaps lying on manifold or on a step from drivers side. Still can't see roll pin in diagram on toothed...

Update; Swapped fuel pump, start and efi relays and fitted new paper element air filter. Car starts normally them approx 30 seconds later dies. At this point I look for spark using lead and screwdriver on shock tower bolts....nothing. ..then spark and ignition. Thinking still intermittent it...

May need help. Need to be sure first. Dad had a EDXR8 mint from new which sadly before being written off parked with 70k on it had a stalling issue and we spent 2k between mechanics and auto electrician including new dizzy sensors etc before I finally traced problem to ECU. My brothers EL...

Thanks, much more thorough than my manual.
