2000 Vs Ute
Thats if any codes are shown.

Yup, that's the thing. Nothing shows up.

See orange light flash on dash (vs) when it cuts out randomly at speed then goes away. Hasnt happened for a while though.
Missing under heavier load, so ease into the bigger hills and AC off.
Hard to start and sometimes no luck at starting at all when hot.
Bit of a rougher idle too.

3 different DFI modules, doubt all of them and coils are bad. Runs fine when cool.

Only really happened since we did the freshen up. So will be a pain to change it out, but meh, for not much cost and an arvo it's worth the chance it is that.

VE Series I SS Ute
CAS on the V6 is pretty easy, fan out, belt off and balancer off. Takes me about an hour all up.

VS Acclaim V6
Yep, sounds like a similar experience I had and changing the cas sorted it.

Missing under load may be unrelated but at least sort out th3 cutting out

Who cares what anyone else thinks.....As long as you're satisfied with the car, up the whingers and whiners....

The way I see it, those that whinge are jealous they don't own it...
