Hi guys. Quick question, what is the function of the TPS on these older Buick motors ? I know that on the ecotecs it controls the shift points relative to the throttle position. It also reports back a fair bit of info to the ecu (I won't go into that) The VN has a TVC cable (kickdown cable)...

I think I'll be changing the injectors out. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input guys. I'll check out the injectors as soon as I can. :) I'm running some fuel system cleaner through it now :D Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

What do you mean checked for leaks ? As in fuel leaks? If so there's no fuel leaks that I know of. The car has 237k on it. I've had it since 200,000 not sure on the history of injectors. The car goes like a rocket though. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hey guys. My 1996 vs stato v6 has been giving my all sorts of trouble starting. In the morning it cranks over for about 5 seconds before actually starting. When it starts it stumbles until I press the accelerator. Then it smooths out and drives normally. If I park it and come back after 30...

Hi guys, 2 i developed some weird issue, dunno what the hell it is! started car in the morning and going to work as i do every morning, about 10 minutes into the drive, suddenly an error pops up on the dash. On my way home, no errors came up. Then today after 10 minutes of driving to work...

maaaadest invite. hahaha

people dont realise that generic tunes arent that great, a tune is usually specific to the car itself, My vs is in different condition to someone elses vs and therefore, what may apply to my car may not be suitable for another... as suggested above, get a tune from mace or the1, if you cant...

when i put one on my v6, i had to make the square cut in the airbox a little bigger so that it slides in and clips, as for the top i used small screws and screwed them into the plastic ontop of the radiator

thanks for that, where does number 14 go to? thats the only thing i cant work out ive got a line running from the metal cannister pipe to the t connector, then one end of the t connector runs to the valve which is number 9 on the diagram, then hte other end of the valve to the tank... one of the...

i had a simular issue with my vs, i tried to start it one morning and it would just give me a giant click everytime... prior to that i had exact same symptoms as you... it was a new starter motor too. turned out being the positive cable running from the starter to the battery, it was burnt out...

all you gotta do is remove the four screws holding in the hornpad and its free. if you have airbags, disconnect the battery and take out the fuse so that you can unplug the airbag... then disconnect the horn plug and its out. no yanking or pulling required

Hi guys sorry to dig up an old thread, since theres already some information here, i thought it would be better than creating a new one... i have this setup here as seen from the photos ive looked at the other diagrams supplied, i cant work out which hose goes where. especially the t peice, ive...

Hi mate, no a vt steering wheel will not fit a VS because the shafts are different sizes, However, you can fit a VT hornpad straight onto the vs steering wheel, you can simply swap the airbags over, There are 4 screws holding the airbag into the wheel that you can access from behind. Its a 5...

the granny was actually cashed up. They had a new Audi a6 avant. I think they just wanted to get rid of it because it was taking space. It needed a bit of work here and there. But I've fixed it up slowly and I now have it at a point where I'm happy with it. :) Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

I don't know if I should feel bad or happy. I snatched a vs stato for $2300 from a granny that had it since new. It had 176000 on the clock. originally listed for 3700. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Cheers man, you're a legend. All working now. I guess after all the cluster can affect the cruise control! So happy to have it back. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

I may have accidentally damaged it. It's a bit worn out Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Good pickup! I've replaced the bottom section (3 windows, lvl3 cluster) with leds, will rip em out tomorrow and re test. Cheers :) Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Hey fellas, recently taken out my cluster a couple of times in the last 24 hours, stupid globes went out a couple of times (different globes) the globes are now working, but my cruise control isn't :( I've checked the brake switches and they seem to be intact. Globes in the tail lights are...

My vs stato is out by 5km at 100km/h Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

So the guy was able to connect to the computer no problem, read the codes cleared them, he was even able to view live engine data! 02, fuel trim, rpm, coolant temp! Now I'm actually upset lol Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Thank god. That's a relief. I forgot to plug my cluster in before starting the car. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Hehe all good bud. Happens to the best of us. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

I understand bro, but my car doesn't communicate with anything at this point. The port doesn't work. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Im just worried the tech 2 won't work Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

I think my luck has just become as bad as it can get. Unplugged my cluster today to change the globes and forgot to plug in back in the airbag light is now set. With the car not being able to communicate, how can it be reset? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

+1 on SUV'S Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

I've done it on my vx a while back, dad did it on my vs though. Similar procedure I reckon. I got mine from pick a part wreckers for $16. New Is $170 I think. Pretty easy. Disconnect battery, take out airbag fuse, then unplug the yellow airbag connector. (if you don't have an airbag...

Had a similar thing a while back, clockspring was the culprit. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

The Melbourne myki system did the same. I had to touch on to get through the gates, then the ticket inspector said that his machine says that I didn't touch on and that he's giving me a $180 fine. Don't worry bud same stupid system here Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

It's Adelaide. What did you expect? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Sure will! Got the exact same paint as you did now just waiting for the leds to arrive and a couple of other stuff. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Tell me about it, just went through that a month ago. Come on seriously? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Polished one of my stato wheels. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Sweet. So if I want red needles I simply have to paint them red I'm guessing. Gonna be attempting this myself this weekend :) Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Spot on noticed this myself just before! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Just filled it up again, driving to Geelong on the freeway. I'm at 113km and I'm down to half a tank! Something is still wrong :( Just when I thought everything was sorted Just a little background. -new spark plugs -new leads -new oil and oil filter -new iac. -new o2 sensors -new air...

Possibly scooped up some dirt too lol since it was less than 1/4 full Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Whacked in new o2 sensors after doing the earth fix at the pcm, got a tune, full tank of gas and got 460km out of it pretty easy. Mostly town driving. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
