Gday there i know the vt commo has a fuel pump cut out on the oil pressure switch meaning if she gets to low on oil it will cut power to the fuel pump.i dont know if the vn has the same setup(anyone here know for sure )just a possabilty..also wen your huppy got it running again???????did it make...

I have had the same thing happen to me every time i advertise on carsale.com,trading post,ebay&gum tree,,watch it because they send you emails over an dover trying to get you to download a virus also..im still getting them now ,the email comes in as EXPRESSION OF INTEREST.dont download it.Its...

might just be head gaskets??unknown tho till you pull them of and test but just maybe 1 or more cylinder is full of water and she has started to hydrolic.hard to say without looking but if you take out your plugs and try turning it over see if any water comes out..just a thought.

mine stopped when i replaced the seal stopping the leak,,let us know if it does for you also but it could be a blown speed sensor but yours is doing what mine done so would be interesting to see..(altho a blown sensor wouldnt blow your fuse????)do let us know as soon as you find out.

just out of curiosity what was yours doing.

Gday there,it is located on the left hand side of the tranny near the back section,you will see 2 wires going into it from memory.

Thanks for the input guys.

ok cool so what your saying is that the wiring i replaced very well still could have been my problem.

ok sounds like a cam will do the trick for now,or at least a good starting point anyway.How about stroking it,whats the best brand as there are so many available,anyone have a spare block&heads suit reco for sale

yeah bought it from ebay a member with over 3000 positive feedback so hoping its good,i must point out i havent installed it as yet but

Gday guys i have a stocker 5ltr vt and was after more kws,i have bought a chip to bring her up to 195kw but was after a bit more without spending more than what the cars worth.I ask this cause i had a vq stato 5ltr and that thing would run rings around the vt(she really went well and had...

i think your radiater cap plays a role in that also

yeah i was ginda hoping that one of the connecters werent making a good connection as well,but all the test i did were before i pulled the tank out again just incase of something silly and as the last measure i pulled the tank out and then changed the plug over.Fingers crossed alright i would...

ok guys heres what i have found,,i checked for fuel flow=nothing,checked earth =good,checked power=good,dropped tank again and replaced the wire plug and now it runs on fuel,,,heres my confusion i did a contanuwity (spell check)test on the plug that came out while twisting and bending it and its...

yeah i think your right,it just weird that it blew only wen coated in oil ,but like i said your right about it not conducting electricity..(i should have known that ) as coils do have oil inside with the coil of copper wire and i have pulled them apart to see that in the past,if it did conduct...

yeah definatly will not be bench testing this unit,i thought i would try the earth side to see if maybe its has a bad earth there somewhere if that works out fine i will change the wire plug over that i just sorced from u pull it,,will be out there soon to try,will keep you posted..

Thats odd because every time i replaced the fuse it blew (more than 15 fuses later)and when i notice the plug full of oil i disconected it and the car drove but only in 1st gear and didnt blow any fuses ,,i then bought the seal and replaced it and the car drove perfect and didnt blow any fuses...

Hey if anyone else ever has this problem it turned out to be only the seal for the speed sensor,,what it done was leak oil out past the seal (only a $20 fix)and into the wire connections shorting out the fuse,,causing it to only drive in top gear(taking of at low speed was a hassle)you would...

gday guys ive gone ahead and installed a completely new pump assembly $230 later and completely drained all fuel cleaned out the tank and re fuelled with fresh petrol ,,connected her all up and nothing,,gas switch is working fine and i have power to the purple wire on the plug at the tank also...

what ever deal you do with the car yard get it in writting ,,trust me once they get your money they wont care about what verbal agreement is made..i got stung bad like that,and sounds like maybe the steering rack has been out and replaced if the wheel is of center or maybe the airbag has gone of...
