VE SS Ute Manual 2009
Hi All
I have a 2003 VY SS..I have been having a few problems with car running rough which originally i thought was when under load..I dont use the car that much but now with further testing it appears to only run rough when its getting warmed up..Once its warm after a few k's the problem disappears..I have replace plugs/leads and its been on a tester with no fault codes showing...Is there a sensor that controls fuel/spark on the warm up process

Thanks

check the ECT sensor output may still be in range therefore not logging a code and affecting mixture control

Oil was changed around 6 months ago with magnatec 10/40. I have probably only done around 2,000 k's since then

Thanks for your reply...Can you point me in the right direction to test/check this?....Can the sensor be replaced easily?

Thanks

Has the car been tuned? because it could just be a **** cold start tune.

No...The car is standard apart from extractors....Has been running fine for the last 8 months...
