- VT Executive Sedan S1 Manual
:bow: I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction in rectifying the following problem with my VT Commodore, 5 Speed V6.
I was driving home on a mild dry day, after getting out of work early. Whilst in idle at a set of lights, my car seemed fine, on putting it into first gear and beginning to accelerate, my car suddenly felt like it went bang.
I t coughed and splattered and manage to idle for about 20 meters then died, I tried to turn it over and the car back fired, several times. Also un-burnt fuel smoke appeared in my air cleaner box.
Engine sounds fine, no noises. Fuel pump and oil pump working.
I called the RACV, $166.00 later. The mechanic tells me, ummm not sure. What or why !!!
You need a tow truck, no surprise here.
I have replaced the coil pack in the past with a S/H unit, because one of the coils collapsed, I’m wondering if it’s the coil module.
Can anyone out there give me some ideas, I also have the genuine workshop manual on CD, where to look would be good.
