Another annoying Central Locking Question
Hey everyone! Especially said Holden Tech, I think it's awesome you're willing to come in here and answer questions for people.
Anyhow, I have a problem with my VT Berlina Station Wagon (98) model, 3.6. Basically, sometimes I'll get in it, and the car will start fine. At other times, it will try to kick over, then fail. However, when I lock and then unlock again using the central locking button on my remote, it starts fine. It's an annoyance, and I'd like to fix it, but if it's going to cost some huge amount of money and I'm not risking causing some greater problem, then I'd be fine with "just putting up with it". So, I guess my question is, could this simply be a wiring issue, and can it lead to greater problems? Is it something I could fix myself, or is Holden going to charge through the nose to repair it? :lock:
While I have you, it also seems to start chugging now and then as I'm driving. Nothing extreme, but I can hear it doing so. My husband thinks it's something to do with the sparkplugs, but is unsure which tools he needs to take them out. Are sparkplugs something I can buy and replace myself? Or are they something else I have to leave to Holden Techs?
