Hi all,
Vy v6 ecotec.
Drive home was fine, no problems.
Parked, came back 15min later would not start, would not even crank.
Swapped out coil packs, plugs, no change. Checked for fuel, fuel there.
Replaced crank angle and cam angle sensors, it now cranks and starts, but immediately dies. Will run if you keep a foot on the accelerator, but will go from barely idling at 800 rpm to 4500rpm with no pedal movement.
Sounds best I can describe like a enormous cam, really really choppy.
I I thought maybe a vacuum leak but I've checked and everything seems okay.
I can hear what I think is hissing but it sounds like it's coming up through the shifter.?
Not throwing codes.
Genuinely unsure as to what's next.
I'm thinking maybe inlet manifold gaskets or head but just unsure.
