- 2000 Commodore VT Series II Olympic Edition Wagon
Hi guys, sorry for posting a 'help' on my first post
But I'm hoping someone more experienced might be able to shed some light on my problem.
I did do a search and a google but not much luck narrowing down on '47'.
2000 VT series II wagon, V6 auto, 200K kms on the clock, just bought it a couple of weeks ago.
Normally starts first kick even when cold, but intermittently will not start, cranks but won't fire.
Also once it has cut out on me, sudden loss of ignition, then again wouldn't restart.
When it doesn't want to start, turning the key off an on a few times and then it starts OK again.
Otherwise seems to drive fine with no apparent issues.
Checked the error codes, it's throwing code 47, and going through my trusty Gregory's, I've done the voltage tests on D4 and the voltages are as they should be, which indicates faulty ecu
We've checked and cleaned the cam/crank/DFI connectors. I've also reset the codes a couple of times and after a reasonable drive it always logs 47. So there is definitely something wrong but ecu seems a bit extreme. Is there anything else I should look for / test before replacing the ecu?
Thanks
