Had problems just after it clicked over to 150k.
Engine shakes that bad that the bonnet and car shakes, sluggish barely any power and goes into safety mode if revved over 3k revs, full tank of fuel is only showing 200km till empty also, and when starting up it makes some really weird and bad sounding noises, also sounds like its going to stall, any idea what this could be ?

 

[Cambart1991]

I could be wrong but it could be the timing chain. Has it thrown an engine light?

 

[KyleGM]

Yeah check engine light comes on as soon as I turn the car on and if you drive it in the middle it flashes on and off check engine.

Take it to a mechanic and get them to scan the computer. Consider getting it towed as to not do anymore damage.

 

[commodore665]

Could be any number of things , fuel pump , 02 sensors , cats blocked , ECU cactus , get it towed to mechanics and get a scan .

 

[Cambart1991]

Yeh man if you have an engine light on is be taking it in quick smart.

 

[KyleGM]

I took it to the mechanics and he said that my ignition coils were missfiring and it was $900 to replace them with the labour, i found a set for $180 on ebay, my car has no power and stalls if i give it any acceleratior so hopefully once there replaced it is back to running normal again, fingers crossed.

 

[KyleGM]

Just replaced coils and spark plugs myself and still not ####ing working ha, when i unplug the 3 spark plug connectors on the right side of the motor nothing changes but on the left hand side it drops out if i disconnect the connectors, anyone have any ideas ?

 

[Michael-08-VE]

Could be right side chain way stretched, so much so the timing isn't correct enough to even burn fuel...

 

[redvxr8clubby]

At risk of stating the obvious, presumably there must be something common to the bank that isn't firing, is there independent earth or power feed to each bank?
