yep just won a an old hq sedan :) ill go alpine for this one!~ cheers people, and hcvp sorry i guess its hard to explain something when your wrong... :hiding:

strange thing is though normally the afm doesnt stuff up unless someone has tried to clean it with anything other than afm spray or its been drenched with water or gernie when they die they run like they are unplugged (try it and you will see :) ) let us know how you go man worst case...

yeah no i am wrong... cheers sweefu that made more sense as you talked in my terminology (which is also wrong) yeah come to think of it my speaker aiming looks a little retarded, with like 30 degree angles on rear speaker mounts... lol oh well here to learn i am which is what i was asking...

right, so your saying that i would be creating a center point of sound but it wouldnt matter because it would reflect back of an opposing surface and come back while the next set of sound would be coming, making my set up pointless? even though the movement of the air is reduced on the...

i have noticed that the cheaper no genuine 02 sensors read at the incorrect ranges... if they are genuine sensors with standard computer and std tune you may have an issue...

im at home...? sound waves travel and deflect yeah... so i am talking about setting a space with speakers evenly apart at the same volume around the outside of it and aiming them at the middle (of cars cabin)...??? even and clear... just saying "your wrong" is not going to show me where i am...

:hmmm: righty oh then, this is just the way i worked it out for myself... tell me where i am wrong :hiding: and i start small and add more speakers as i feel the system is lacking in a zone (mid lows highs) above^^ this is what i am trying to say worded more carefully... i am talking...

yes the lpg has servicing need including a filter... which can cause your fault as can having no gas or the valve on the tank being shut off... get it checked by a specialist to give you a qoute.... at least you dont have to mess around then...

i dont use equalising units (including settings in stereo) except amp settings for sub etc until i have set up the system to my needs and budget, like putting a exhaust in a v8 but keeping the standard cam!~ i like to go further but not as far as to have some competion system, i am a...

water enters the pipe in mist and steam... thats how it randomly got wet (worse in wet rain lol) those boxes are awesome, cause they catch all up draft that travel around for the bumper (like blowing candle out around a glass) and the distance is the same as standard generally eliminating...

as long as you dont have rats eating your harness or fault only started after some work was done then likely its going to be the sensors OR what they measure entering the engine AFTER the MAF and therefore changin the mixture which is picked up by the 02 sensors then the code is logged as the...

they dont just die... they burn (basically) and read incorrectly but within range (as both are burnt or all 4) so as to not set codes, reducing fuel economy BY HUGELY REDUCING POWER... the closer the O2 sensors are to the engine the quicker they burn preheating them makes the surface...

well honestly no i try to balance sound pressure to the center console on a sedan back seat for wagon and middle of dash for coupe... by balancing speaker surface area and power output of the speakers i have found (personally) the more speakers added EVENLY front and rear sound clearer at...

you would have to wire it to your new amp.... unplug and connect input to your new amp (as old sub is one channel(one speaker)) connect it to your amp input with 2 wires or bridged position so both your new subs get the same signal... input signal at original plug will be fine and within...

no cash jobs required...

agreed nothing worse than rebuilding a motor and having to do it again cause you did a quick rings and bearings job...(40-60 000 km's) this is why mechanics is a trade... use em'

wowowo nah get the engine codes (dtc's read) if there is a code or history code ofr something replace it even in stop start traffic i get 700 km's to a tank in vt v6 never rebuilt! and 248,000km's... so yeah that isnt enough fuel eceonomy) if an o2 sensor is faulty it lowers the...

if a code sets again, after you clear it. 9/10 times the thing that sets the code is F****D BUT with those codes also check that there is no MAJOR INTAKE LEAKS.... intake leaks would be the 1/10 for those codes ;)

lol yeah... anyways if it STILL binds(wont wove) in NUETRAL then problem is either hand brake, or diff or shaft or box internals, or incorrectly fitted clutch assembly (input shaft and clutch JAMMED onto eachother (clutch plate back to front dont laugh peeps i have seen it before...).... if in...

... right<? brain scratch.... on rebuild was ALL individual journals on crank measured and given bearings to suit? if a generic set was fitted from a one or two off measurement skip to below (taking load off cylinder) oil pressure check would be one (if light not on prbs ok).... oil...

cheaper and more effective... by pod filter that fits end of Air Flow Meter take Intake air temperature sensor ffrom airbox use METAL WASHER from Intake air temp sensor (IATS) to find size of hole needed for drill bit drill the END of the pod filter out stick IATS through hole...

tight steering in ALL ve at low speed only is generally either low tyre pressure (a flat on front) strut top BUSHES (the center sits higher than the outside edge) like... _--_ or pump failure (;ike ignition is on and engine is off and you try to steer it) this bush on the top of...

if you have been hard on it maybe consider cahnging the oil every 15000 or so...regardless off service intervals... for your future reference... a clutch smell can be from air in clutch line (overheating of fluid or old fluid (older new car, e.g. o7 sold 08/09)) also have it checked for...

all those lights on generally points to eather faulty terminal solder on abs module plug (harness side) or a failing abs module... (and an abs code disables the traction control) (as long as battery charge light isnt on when running (if so cehck engine earths and altenator)) if soldering...

intake leak left hand side only.... or dodgy exhaust which is much more likely to check for a leak did you block exhaust with a rag the left hand side??? if no try this... if you think its a muffler faulty then take it back to where you bought it... if no warranty at least they should give...

well still at holden not enough cash jobs so onto the foroumns

cars can run on lpg instead of r134a but no, it needs some system modifications i dont know enough about to explain.... the fans have speed settings.... a/c stage 1 and stage 2? if you pulled one relay out and it doesnt blow the fuse anymore then the short to graound is on the cricuit for...

awesome love it miss i am staying on at holden!~

right that is a little crazy for a no strating/cranking fault like you had a failed dfi and an immobiliser issue with the key and or drivers door lock...strange but possible

if you were just looking for cost effectiveness and not a roadworthy issue just join the two heater pipes that go to the firewall together skipping the heater the turn the heater too cold and it will be fine until you have the cash to get it done.... and its a mission some say they have...

dude wtf... fan fuse blows replace coil pack or dfi module? new one to mee when you fix it post what your faults were and exactly what you did along the way to fix it just so we can learn from what appears to be crazyness...:hiding:

okay..... to save y'all some trouble lets do same basic short finding work on amperage battery drain.... so you need a multimeter, a car (lol), a ten mm spanner, a fuse puller, two clamps so open every door and boot (unplug boot light switch) MANUALLY lock all the doors while open (...

saw a guy smash one grill once then just lever the catch on the pivot (where cable was) apart from that no idea man but dont grind it jeezus-xroist!~

rule of thumb, slotted front rotors bendix front pads machine rear rotors genuine rear pads flush brake fluid AND abs system (by holden) and never have problems with your brakes again..... just an opinion...

hahaha ac delco sender card through holden parts is coming soon i heard to drop the price... anyway sender comes off the mra unti and floats around telling you what ever it feels like..... sometimes you just got to clip it back in..... to test the sender card multimeter and mra/sender...

also in that model c'dore the instrument cluster IS exchangable but needs a ,,,, IPC fuel relearn done with tech 2 for the gauge to work correctly.... so if ipc has been swapped or whatever, the fuel relearn has to be done... had a few have a code stored uin the ecm that wont clear...

yeah spot on hako~! the bit you want to tap with a hammer (or golf club once lol) is the smaller round part of the starter motor where the wires are this is a switch mad up of wire a shaft and a large contact often with rebuilt starter motors they cheap out and dont rreplace the shaft and...

if a fuse blows every time you turn the key on then that circuit is shorted to ground severely.... unplug ecm take BOTH battery terminals off then see if there is a circuit from the fuse (toward the fans side of circuit) to any ground in the engine bay area (like the disconnected negatve...

yeah... running standard fuel? would go 12 as specification is 10 fr premium probably higher but its the old adjust drive and listen for rain !~that will give you the correct adjustment too far and it will ping under different temperature conditions.... if unsure about rain etc just go 12...

not sure, search maybe lol~! push aerial in as far as you can while radio turning off ignition off take front left wheel off then inner gaurd and mud flap then 13mm bolt on aerial motor AND screw for static earth above motor (leave inside gaurd) and connector/plug then (my way) attach a...
