O.K, thanks! I will make sure I keep an eye out for my battery light then! If the belt comes off then that will come on straight away.

If if does crap out am I safe to assume the timing will go all of a sudden?

Hey, Just wondering if anyone can give me some advise, car started making some noise today, I had a look and the front of the harmonic balancer has a big chunk missing. Will this be alright to run over the next day until I replace the balancer? any help will be appreciated

i'd be a bit careful running 1o psi in a standard engine with 10psi boost you will need bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump and i'd sugest a dyno tune to get the most out of it any way hope it works out for you. 10psi probably is to much, If I was to run 8psi how would it run with...

Hey, I have a vr commy V6 manual, have just put a new turbo on it and now it is starving for fuel, I think I will need to put bigger injectors and get the memcal done. Are there any other advises you can offer that will help me get running 10psi of smooth boost through this beast. Cheers

It is funny because the car is slowely coming right, this morning when I pulled up to work it didn't die in Park. I intend on Cleaning the IAC and throttle body and see form there. I will also reset the ecu

Do you know exactly where to locate this?

I would assume if there is an idle problem it would still be there in drive? but its not, it is idling fine when parked up. I will clean the IAC valve anyways, never hurts. Thanks

Went to the pools tonight with the family came out and started the VN and it run rough and died. Started it again got the revs up and put it into drive and it was sweet, stopped at the lights then put the foot down and it missed and then run sweet, get home put it into park, dead! It wont idle...

When the main screw is loose you can shift it left or right and then tighten the main screw again - next time you see a CAS have a look at it you will understand

Yes you are correct it is attached to the car with two screws, but it can also be adjusted! I adjusted mine three times before the rev limit was removed, I'll put my money on the CAS having something to do with the problem - mind you I also thought the Wallabies and All Blacks would win on the...

Hey man, I had this same problem on my VN it was cutting out at 3500 rpm, it was my CAS - it didn't need replacing it just needed ajusting. The CAS has a black unit on it that clicks - one click you might be away!

It does it whether the heater is on/off hot/cold, it is getting worse, Can these taps/core crap out

Hey, I brough a VP a while ago now and the last couple of months I have notice when the car is warm and I'm going up a hill or taking off there is a water gushing sound coming from behind steering column, not sure where to begin - any ideas?

Yes it seems the flex plate is split, I understand to fix this the gearbox needs to be removed also the torque converter distatched, how long do you think it should take to do this job? I had one garage quote me 6 hours which I think is a crock

Sounds like the noise is coming from the backend of the engine - towards the auto trans

I have a VP and a VN, the Vn 89 3.6 has been off the road for a month as it is making a loud noise around the engine, when idling the noise is a vibrating rattle, when I idle it is still there but not loud, you can here it when you drive and its worse when foot goes down, tonight I started the...

Hey man, it would be worth changing your CAS as I had a similar problem at 3500rpm my car would miss and a slight surge eould occur, I changed my CAS and problem was sorted. The only hassel with changing the CAS is you have to remove the Harmonic Balancer Pully at the front of the motor, with a...

The Vn started making a weird knocking noise out of the blue last week, sounds like it is coming from below the motor but can't identify where. On start up and idle it is bad knock knock knock knock knock knock knock..... as soon as you hold your revs up it goes away. It allmost soulds like a...

In the fuse and relay box under the bonnet there is a fuse for your fuel pump, if any of you fuses are broken replace them and see if you get some fuel action, if that doesn't work try give your fuel tank a good hard smack!!! sometime will kick the fuel pump into gear, also another thing to...

Well I have now cleaned my IAC and it is running much better, no stalling or low revs, BUT.... now she is reving at 1500rpm - I have turned the idle down to as low as it can go but still 1500rpms. Does anyone have an idea on how to get this idle back to 1000rpms before I have no breaks left!!!!

Hey man I had the same problem after I changed my CAS, what it was is the CAS is adjustable and that can alter the timing. I adjusted the little white unit on the CAS one click and it made my car run mint

Well I have a comment and you guys might thinks I'm full of S#!T but that's alright, I own a New Zealand built 1989 VN commy with a reconditioned seriesII motor (143,000 on the clock at the time of recon) chip tuned and pod filter with 2 1/2 inch exhaust, lowered, fuel 98 with octane boost...

I changed the fuel filter two weeks ago, I will look at regulator tonight cheers

Hey guys Can anyone please tell me where to locate the fuel pressure regulator on a series 11 VN, car keeps stalling in Park and neutral so I might give the regulator a change to see if that helps.

I've seen a similar product in action over here in NZ and bolting one on doesn't do much, but with a few modification and bolting 4 of them on works pretty well for a cheap mod -

I have just experienced a similar problem, my VN was running sweet, then I started it one afternoon and drove about 20m and it stalled, so I tried to start it again and it would fire but wouldn't hold it would just stop, gave the fuel tank a hard knock and it started, stopped 1/2 an hour later...

Sorry to sound ignorant but the hoses I need to undo where are they located? are they locacted down the tank end or up in the engine bay?

Does anyone know how to change a fuel filter and fuel regulator on the VN?

Dude I had the same thing mine was the kick down peddle, just needed adjusting and it was sweet

Yesterday I removed the hose from the little black canister that runs to the top of the motor and it started sweet and run smooth, it doesn't smell of petrol. So today after work I will replace the canister and hopefully thats where the problem is, otherwise I'm guessing it will be somewhere...

How do I locate this? and what am I looking for?

O.k my vn takes about 3-5 sec to start, the CAS is new! When the car does start it smells of petrol and idle rough for about 15 sec, then comes right - any ideas?

I learnt the hard way Hey man I have learnt about the CAS the hard way, but to answer you question you have to undo the pulley nut (I used a long cresent and put it on the nut so the cresent was against the body of my car, gave it a little flick of the motor and it is undone) remove the...

I spoke with my mechanic he advised me to avoid this option as cutting and changing the exhaust could get costly$$$ So we have looked and found a VS auto gearbox with about 120000km running time, $500 can't go wrong! It was going to cost $2500 for a rebuild - thanks for your help

It's going into my mates VS, we are convinced his gearbox is stuffed after two mechanics have told us!! Its not changing into second untill about 3500rpm, Do you no if there is anything else to look for that might need ajusting? like the VN/VP you can alter the kickdown cabel and it changes you...

Does anyone know if the 2002 VT 3.8 ecotec auto gear box is compatible with a 1995 VS 3.8 ecotec motor? Any help would be appreciated!

Hey Yesterday I was driving home from work I was in drive and hit the slow traffic, as I started to build up speed my gear change was normal then all of sudden my gearbox changed into second gear when I was doing abot 75kmph so I put my foot down and it changed into 3rd, but I could'nt get...
