Hi all, have an annoying problem with
My car (1999 VT commodore) wouldn't start the other day unless I pushed the accelerator while turning the key, after it started if I let my foot off the accelerator the car would stall, I held it at 1k revs (idle revs when cold) for a minute and let off to see it was holding idle on like 200 revs so really struggling.
Left it 5 minutes then it started fine and has been since but it's caused a new problem.... If I'm driving I lose power, as in I'm doing 100km go to put my foot down and it holds back (you can feel it grab itself then itll let go and grab again) only does it sometimes not all the time.
Also does it when taking off sometimes, it's so annoying and has me stumped. I've replaced the following, leads, plugs, coil pack. So it's not weak Spark. Also replaced, tps sensor, throttle body, new K&n air filter so it's not air either now the next thing is fuel... all Ive done is replace the fuel filter. The fuel pump also buzzes really loudly.
If you've ever driven a manual commodore with traction control and dump the clutch it grabs itself, that's what my car's doing except it's auto no traction control and also only when trying to speed up. Any help would be amazing...
Sorry that it's a long read. TIA
