Vz lost started splattering and lost power

[Daniel1998]

Hey guys...

Just wondering if anyone might have any idea on what happened to my vz, when I have been driving I accelerate and my car starts spluttering and then all of a sudden I lost complete power and when I accelerated I wouldn't move and then I tried to turn the car back on and it would start but then die straight away.

You need to put petrol in.

No I had a full tank of petrol so that's not the problem

Splattering? I say, it should be spluttering.

• Ignition coils and plugs (misfiring, hesitation, stuttering)
• Fuel pump (is it noisy when starting/idling?)
• Fuel pressure regulator

My bet is with the ignition circuit and plugs/coils. First stop, an analyser at the techie's shop. With such an obvious problem with driving that analyser is likely to show one or more problems that require attention.

Just got my fuel pump and pressure regulator changed, if coil pack is it a big job

So fuel pump didn't fix it?
Coils are fairly easy it's just a pain on the alloytec you need to lift the top manifold.
It sounds more serious than coils to me unless several are really badly farked. Anyhow you can get a set online about $180 or about $60 each at supercheep a-la repco times six.
As above get it scanned first. Even supercheap will scan it for $15 and tell you what codes pop up.

if you have to change coil packs, do your plugs at the same time, as greenacc said ,while you have lift the inlet manifold my as well

Taking the manifold off is really easy.
It's 6 bolts. Disconnect the hoses. Remove the throttle body. Disconnect the sensor at the back of the manifold. Lift off.
You might need a new manifold gasket.

Yes I would replace sparks if I was to replace coils, may as well do the whole job once and the sparks aren't that expensive. I would go for NGK sparks.

I've noticed from my customer's experiences that it's best to change all coils rather than just one at a time, as the others usually follow.

Regarding coils bought from Supercheap, they are well overpriced while Repco stock mediocre quality coils, being in the industry I'm aware of the coils on the market and what they are worth.

how much for 6
