fuel

So turns out 4 year old fuel doesn’t work anymore… I drained the tank by bridging the relay and worked okay but noticed barely any pressure, also after bridging for a while fuel stopped coming out. I can still hear the pump whirring while bridged but no fuel seen, is it safe to assume fuel pump...

I have a series 1 manual VE sv6, have an otr, full exhaust (headers back), intake manifold spacer. Recently got dyno tuned. I have noticed that it still does not cut fuel off throttle (wasn't doing it before, hence one of the reasons for tune). During the Tune, I was told I may have an exhaust...

So I just recently swapped a vx l67 with some work done to it into my vy Ute. I’m running a vy loom into a vx ecu. When I go to start it it tries to start coughs and splutters but then dies out. I tried with a little throttle and wanted to go but once again coughing spluttering but blowing black...

Hey guys and girls, Little help please? Vs 304 to 355 stroker with gilmers ,starts, idles untill the revs drop then just cuts out and dies, Have been able to drive it however not very far before it cuts out. Have checked every breather hose line etc to no avail, just keeps cutting out...

My 2013 VE SV6 LFX, has just decided to have a fuel issue one day any not start again. I've replaced both the electronic and high pressure fuel pumps. So on prime I get 60 to 65 psi and the beginning of crank it rolls up to 1800psi, hits 1800 and then dies off to 30 psi and I cannot figure out why

So my Commodore VZ has 210,000km on the clock. Recently, under load, i heard this spinning up sound coming from the engine for a few days. This has stopped. But now the fuel usage has gone up by about 1L/100km. Also using oil - i have top up every few weeks. I checked under the engine top...

Hi Guys. Have a VT 304 Man. Having fuel mixture issues. Found PCM with some extra wires cut not connected to anything. Can anyone help? See image.

Hi guys and girls. I have a cammed sv6, and I was told not to let fuel get below 1/4 in the tank due to low fuel pressure otherwise “[my] engine will blow”. Now my question is, is this true for all driving conditions or just racing conditions?

what are the advantages of running one or the other because my commodore can take both and I wanted too know the better fuel. ( VE Series II SV6 Sedan 4dr Spts Auto 6sp 3.6i [MY12.5] )

Sorry if title doesnt help, new to the whole car mod thinf and couldnt find anything so I made an account to ask what I exactly need. I have a 04 VZ calais V6 (LY7 if that helps sorry) and I bought the camshaft package from mace engineering. I’ve been advised the valve springs will need to be...

Hey guys. Long story short i’m not a commodore man but looking for some insight into v6 fuel rails as im putting a vs ecotec into my old Hilux with a full upgraded fuel system. I’m using full an6 braided line with surge tank twin pumps and a vs factory tank. (Mainly cause I had this stuff...

Recently picked up the 'one'. Cycled through a couple beaten up old commys till I find this beauty that I'm gonna keep. Impulse blue vz SV6 straight inside and out with under 60k kms on it. 100% certain their has not been any cluster tampering plenty of evidence. Anyway couple of questions...

Hey Team ✌️ Brand new member and first post. Last week, I tried to start my 2012 VE SSV Redline wagon - it turned over but no start. Had the car picked up and delivered to mechanics. Code was P069E, mechanics replaced fuel pump. Picked car up yesterday and fired it up, didn’t sound strong but...

Hey guys I joined the Holden club! My first car is a Holden VE 07 Omega and it says on the fuel cover E10 but I’ve been putting in 98RON will this damaged my car in anyway?

Hey guys bit of a weird one. I have a VP V6 manual ute that misfires under load while taking aggressive left corners but is fine going right. Also sometimes does it during heavy acceleration from a stop The utes just had a refresh and the following parts have been replaced Intake gaskets Head...

Hi all! I just bought a VF SV6 commodore. The previous owner had advised he put unleaded 91 in the car but I am just wondering if I should continue to put this or if I should put 95? Just wanting the best for the car.

On my V8 Wm caprice I'm wanting to check my charcoal filter as fuel doesn't flow smoothly into the tank, the fuel Bowser's always click off each dollar or 2. I've checked the fuel breather hose and cleared it out (the one connected to the fuel filler neck to the tank). Still does it though. No...

so huge issues arises when i put my vs 80l in my vr, the sender is different as, so my long floaty is wrong, slapped normal one in, the tank has 2 hoses, 1 big 1 small where as my vr one has 2 small 1 big, so I just capped of the breather thats not in use on the filler neck, and now the strap...

Hey guys, just joined this forum after some comments from you lot. I’ve just recently gotten a vz ss thunder L98, it has a mafless tune by Russo performance, cammed, OTR intake, 3” xforce exhaust with pacemaker extractors. It slurps a ridiculous amount of fuel, I went through roughly 30 litres...

ok so I've heard that from factory the VRs came with headers as stock. Would changing them to aftermarket ones do much to the sound and fuel economy or would it just be pouring money down the drain. All i want to do is have it sounding nice by also slapping on a hi flow cat and improve fuel...

Hey guys, I’ve got a 1999 VS commodore Ute. And have recently learnt from the auto sparky that my fuel gauge sender is buggered. So at the moment I have no way to tell how much fuels in the old girl. And I know I have to have little fuel so I can remove the sender. My question is. Is there an...

Hi all, My MY06 VZ ute has a tantrum at the petrol station occasionally when I put fuel in and threatens to stall, or sometimes if it’s been in the sun all day (like if it's parked outside work). If it does actually stall it will start the second time. Happens less if you feed her a tank of 98...

Hello. My WK Statesman (173,000ks on the clock) lately has been using what I think is quite a bit of fuel. A full tank seems to be only getting me about 290 to 330ks. It is complete stock with no modifications, I don't thrash it around I just use it taking my daughter to and from school. I...

Hey so I’ve been having problems starting the VT. Got a new remote attached to the original head from mr minit worked for a week flawlessly then buckled it. Car cranks but it’s as if fuel isn’t sending but the pump primes and works well under load, also once the car decides to start there’s a...

A couple of months ago I developed a low fuel warning issue with my 2005 VZ Wagon. Even though I had a full tank of fuel each time I would start my car I get a low fuel warning. I press mode on my dash to remove the warning but the fuel icon is still stays. The warning doesn't come back while...

My 2008 VE has been playing up a bit in 4th gear. Other than the stutter in 4th gear it runs great. When I lightly accelerate to bring my speed up in 4th gear, my car jerk and sputters as if its struggling to change gear. ATM I am putting my foot down the bit extra to kick it down into 3rd gear...

Hello everyone, I know there are several threads on this but wanting to see if they're any updates or findings on it. I have bought a 2009 E2 senator signature September of 2017. A week after buying I had symptoms of a failing fuel pump; would start but idle rough and a die, cranking but no...

If anyone has any ideas as to what the **** is going on with my car id really appreciate it. This cars just had problem after problem Ive got a vs ecotec manual ute, picked it up for $350 with no rego, clutch or fuel pressure. After i got it, i changed plugs, leads, injectors rail and regulator...

so our fuel pump needed to be replaced.... it’s was the original one put in when the car was built.... We bought a cheap $50 one off eBay installed and filled tank - gauge only read to 3/4 tank instead of full. Removed it, fiddled with floated to see if we could get it working right and...

so im turbocharging my vt v6 l36 commodore and what ive got so far is a memcal to suit my cars stock fuel pump with 36lb l67 fuel injectors, i got told by someone today that its not possible to run it without doing other things to the car such as the regulator and an extra fuel pump . I dont...

What's the best settings for lean cruise? Can I save fuel by setting road speed to say 55 rather than 70 and changing the afrs from 18.1 to 15.4?

I have an l67 and it uses a decent amount of fuel. At idle in park qhen warm uses 1.9-2.2l per hour on the display and in drive uses 2.2-.2.6l per hour. I've read it's meant to read around 1.6? What things could effect my idle usage? I think idle usage pretty much reflects driving usage which is...

I have an l67 with 2 cylinders reading 60psi. I'm just wondering if 2 down cylinders and random misfiring on the 2 would be the cause of high fuel consumption? Averaging around 17l per 100? If I get the cylinders fixed will my economy dramatically increase or would something else be causing it...

Ive just installed a replacement iginition/security set (ECU, BCM, PIM) because my old ECU was faulty (check power train error and codes indicated ECU was faulty. The new set was from a 2005 v6 sedan and mine is 2005 v6 Ute. If works perfectly except my fuel gauge reads full and doesn’t...

But idle it still playing up abit..its been draining the fuel the past 3 days like ive gotten 70kms out of 30litres....how much would it cost to tune it...

Hey, Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations with setting up a higher flow fuel pump for l67 conversion plus also if anyone has done braided fuel lines if they can recommend a "kit" or sizes and adaptors/ guide. Cheers

L67 running rough and just realised I had l36 Injectors in lol. What symptoms would this cause due to the fact it isn't tuned to use l36 Injectors? Would it explain struggling to start/not starting and running really rough with lack of throttle response? Thanks

Currently in the process of putting together a Vt ss with a mild worked ls1 dedicated skid car Going to be installing a fuel cell, want to stay on the low budget side, what will I need and how to wire it up? Any informations useful From what I’ve gathered so far I’ll be going for 40-60l foam...
