Check engine display?

[db_notso]

+1 its an error code
without checking what the code is you are throwing money away

for a vy v8 i recently purchased one of these (neighbours)
OBD2/EOBD SCAN TOOL VY VZ VE BF FG Autel Maxscan GS500 (eBay item 200445531973 end time 27-Jan-11 02:23:08 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

it works very well for an at home tester of codes and data display
another option is this
Car OBD-II Diagnostics Tool 4 Inch LCD Monitor Display (eBay item 370470563218 end time 29-Jan-11 06:37:52 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

these i use as a set of gauges aswell as reading codes if needed

I also had a similar issue with my SS months ago. It was a the oil pressure swtich. Prick of a job to do lol.

Thats what my mechanic said...
My oil pressure sensor was $190 plus labour I think cant remember the exact amount as I had him service my car at the same time..

i was playing around with my air box and throttle body the other day in my vy ecotech and when i re assembled the air intake (including all ducting from throttle body to air box and the maf sensor) my car now thinks there is an engine problem. have i accidently broken something?

MY SS is the throtle sensor intermitant turns off the traction cant be bothered fixing it as the traction seems to be off since i put the 3.73 diff in it
