I need help on something and Im hoping you may be able to point me in the right direction.
I have a VN V8 commodore which just stopped on me on the way home. I was thinking the coil may have been the problem so I tested 6 others on the car nup not the problem . Im getting power to the coil but no spark coming out of it . Someone has suggested ignition module is there any way we can test if my ignition module is dicky as i dont really have the funds to get a newey and it not be the problem IYKWIM . Any help and suggestions are most appreciated .

you can try wobbling the connectors on the trigger module, sometimes it is a bad terminal

Hi, I put a VY2 SS Cluster into my VY2 Acclaim, the fuel gauge is buggered though. When the tank is full the needle sits on 3/4 full, and it goes down to red really fast. when i have about half a tank it reads dead empty. Ive taken it to holden and they say its all configured properly, they put some software update on it but its still the same.

Does this sound like the cluster is stuffed, any ideas on possible fixes?

does it work ok with the original cluster back in?

wen i go to start the car the reds come on and they're strong and it will crank but wont start..... i've check the battery terminals but nothing wrong there i really thing its my fuel or something along those lines.... wen i got the turbo put in i didnt change the fuel pump to suit the turbo so it was spitting out the same fuel as if it was still n/a
