    LS1 Every cylinder is misfiring WK Stato V8

    Okay I think we found our problem. Attached photo is my mother's Adventra we were working on. That fuel rail inlet was still under a lot of pressure even after cranking it without the fuel pump fuse in. Literally throwing fuel into the engine bay. Our V8 Stato, when we disconnected the fuel...

    coolant leak from transit tube (metal)running through belt tensioner/pulley assembly

    rubber o ring flattens on two sides as it gets old if it's leaking it's definitely going to need to be replaced along with the other metal coolant pipe around it, as it'll be next to go too.

    Weird Downshift on Acceleration V6 4L60E

    My V6 VX Calais Kickdown is 45-50% throttle when wanting to move Car shifts up and down gears well and very quickly and engages and disengages lock up when it needs to. Kickdown seems to be very high at 45-50% throttle compared to my partner's old WH Statesman V6 and the other 2 v6...

    LS1 Every cylinder is misfiring WK Stato V8

    Hey everyone, WK Stato LS1 "Ghost" severe cold start misfires (NO CODES) we replaced spark plugs and leads and noted all old spark plugs had a yellowish ash on them indicating EVERY cylinder was misfiring. The plug and lead change was in response to a huge cold start misfire that causes the...

    Accelerator cable too lose at 10 millimeter's of play?

    measured our wh ecotec. from flat to taut it's about 5mm. He drove my car and said there was definitely alot more pedal movement before the car actually moves off. Both cars have the same idle rpm as expected. He did point out the pedal does feel like it is coming off the arm and clicks into...

    Accelerator cable too lose at 10 millimeter's of play?

    It takes a lot of pedal before the car moves away from a stand still so probably will adjust it if i can. is it adjustable through the two nuts on the cable bracket? Thanks for the reply

    Accelerator cable too lose at 10 millimeter's of play?

    Hey Everyone, My ecotec has 10 millimeters of play when gently pressing down on the accelerator cable. Is this too much? I couldn't find any info on this or on any other thread. I have been told it is but they were referring to a completely different car. Thanks

Turns out I had 3 problems. i had a cross threaded spare tyre restraint from when I took the car in to get new tyres. It was making a loud clanging noise so i removed it and that particular noise went...

    Rear Sway Bar Link Question VX

    Thanks for replying, Is there anything in particular a diff would do if it starts going (or cv) other than that. I have absolutely no other problems with the car other than the noise. A clinking noise (almost like a set of keys).

    Rear Sway Bar Link Question VX

    Hey Everyone, I have a question. My VX Equipe is making a clinking noise from the rear end. It was in a left passenger side accident that knocked in my shock absorber slightly at the top. I have replaced both rear shocks and found that both were completely dead. Anyway, my car no longer makes...

    VX Commodore Engine light on highway

    Thanks everyone, Did spark plugs, a throttle body clean (it was caked up) and air filter. I will give it a go on the highway. If it trips the Engine light again I'll see if someone can get me that code. She's a fantastic little car and want to fix it asap. Thanks again to everyone who replied.

    VX Commodore Engine light on highway

    I did ask if it was possible to pull a code. Their response was since the light is gone it is unlikely they can get a code. Is this true?

    VX Commodore Engine light on highway

    Hey everyone, I recently bought a 2002 VXII Commodore. When I went out this morning, I went to overtake someone on the highway then the check engine light came on and the car went into limp mode and I pulled over. Turned the car off and it went away. (No problems after that) I drove the car...

    Temp gauge min-max range for ecotec 3.8L.

    Will be changing the thermostat and wanted to know the gauge range (between C, mid and H) for reference. When driving a decent distance, in hot or cold, the gauge will only JUST come off the Cold. *Understandable if the C is NOT 0° as the car would have to heat up some to reach min temp on...

    VX Statesman Recondition?

    Hey, I not long ago I bought a black 02 VX Statesman. The interior isn't bad but the wood looking trim around the middle air vents in the front is scratched. The steering wheel is deteriorating. The hood liner needs to be mounted properly instead of stapled. The leather driver seat needs to be...
