- VS Commodore Ute Series III
Hi all,
Just joined the other day, and have developed a small annoying problem. I bought a VS III Ute 3 weeks ago and it has been running like a dream, that is until last week-end when the car developed what I can only describe as a miss.
From a stand still, the car stammers and misses like a normal 6 cylinder with a wet distributor, but once given a punch on the throttle clears it's throat and opens up nicely, only to go back to stuttering and missing once it returns to idle.
I went through the electrics, and found a coil pack was playing up, and have replaced that and also replaced the plugs and leads, hoping this would end the miss, no luck.
I refueled on the Suturday just before the miss started happening and was wondering if I could have picked up a load of dirty fuel, or fuel with water in it.
Has anyone else had a similar situation or have any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem.
The Crank Angle sensor is also new (three weeks ago).
Thanks in advance.
