vt issues

[ian]

hi again
\i am still having issues with my v6 vt
when engine is cold it runs great, but after it warms up it has an engine miss
now my airbag light has come on and there is a clicking noise under the left hand side of the dash
i have changed coil packs /plugs /throttle position sensor
leads/and the module under the coil pack
but it still runs like a pig when warm
any clues on what else to look for ?
i have another vt calais for a parts car
so getting bits is not a problem
thanks
ian

Try coolant temp sensor.

the airbag light is easy to get rid of, and is the clicking noise when you start up the car? or when its running?

Common faults.

Try replacing faulty parts with new ones (if you can afford to) saves replacing used parts over and over. But use the used parts as a test.

thanks for the response guys
the clicking starts once the car is running
it sounds very much like a
indicator flashing fast
the spares car that i bought was running perfect when i drove it home and it just had a major service just before i bought it
so i am confident those bits are ok

when it does develop this miss it
feels exactly like when the traction control is working

Check your engine mounts. If the pin is making contact with the rail, it will be activating knock sensors, which feels like trac control.

thanks for that
i will check it tomorrow
also when all this missing is happening i get a bit of static coming through the radio
coincidence ?

Sounds like a electrical gremlin.

i checked the loom it all seems to be ok
is there any other temp sensors apart from the one near the thermostat housing
