- VSII (Lexcen) 1997
Hi All
My VSII wagon (Lexcen - Boo hiss i hear you say - but it is still technically a commodore!!) is experiencing bad economy - i am getting around 400km to a 63 litre tank :b: - i used to get around 550 to 600 :w00t: .
i have changed filters, leads, plugs, thermostat.
next on the list was an injector clean. i rang one place and they have told me for commodores they recommend an 'on board' cleaning, where for $185 they put through a special cleaning agent under pressure which supposedly does the job. has anyone else heard of, or done this ?
i was assuming the best bet would be to remove them, but they said no, as their method cleans the lines and everything going to the injectors as well.
Also, my on board computer when checked for errors showed there were no problems. is this a guarantee that the 02 sensors are okay? or can they fail and not be picked up by the computer?
any help would be appreciated. thanks all. :thumbsup:
One more thing - i don't want to show my stupidity, but in reading other threads trying to find an answer i have the following Q's: What is a CAI? & what is an IAC valve?
