- VX Commodore S 3.8 Series 2 Manual
Hi All,
After some advice with my 2002 VX V6 Manual. I believe it is an electrical issue and wanted to try some trouble shooting efforts before going to an auto electrician.
When driving I will randomly lose power. It is a sharp loss of power that jolts the whole car as if the engine is about to shut off, but it will only be for a second or so. There is no particular time when it occours, sometimes i will be coasting along and it will cut power for a brief second, other times when under load it will do the same.
What i have discovered is when i turn the air con on, this is when it will happen. If the air con is off, even with the fans still blowing air, there will be no intermittent lost of power.
Cheers
