- VT Commodore & RX8
Hi everyone. I own a 1998 VT Commodore (S1). Ever since I've owned it, its done this. Its an intermittent problem, sometimes it will run perfectly when WOT and doesn't get stuck but lately its doing it more often than not.
I've attached a shaky video (apologies) to show the issue:
In search of a resolution to the issue I have replaced the following:
Leads,
Spark plugs,
Fuel Filter,
Transmission flush + fluid replacement
Transmission filter
I have also checked/cleaned the following:
Checked Cat for blockage (all clear)
Checked and cleaned MAF
Checked and cleaned throttle body
Checked for vacuum leaks (nothing)
I have had a Tech II scan and the only code that came up was for the ABS (which this vehicle is not fitted with)
So I'm kind of lost now.. I've searched around and I cant find anyone else with this issue.
Only things I can really think of now would be the O2 sensors, coils and fuel pump.
Other than this problem, the car runs perfectly. When not driving WOT the thing has no issues changing and fuel economy is as you'd expect for any V6 VT Commodore.
Any ideas?
