Hi guys, hoping for a little advice here. My 1995 VS ecotec ute has been having an intermittent starting problem. Usually the car turns over just fine, but every now and again I just get a single click or sometimes there's a short, sluggish crank and then nothing. Every time it's happened to me...

Basically the title. I own a 2007 VZ Commodore Wagon, solid car engine seems to run fine... However, whenever I start/crank it regardless if it's cold or hot it seems to struggle to start. It never once failed to start, however always seems to take around 8 seconds to start and sounds absolute...

Hi guys, having a great time with my 2017 VF wagon. I have taken it to Holden multiple times to try and get repaired with no success. I’m having issues with the car not reading the key fobs. I am prompted to use the transmission pocket for my key every time I try and start my car. The car...

Gday guys ive recently bought a 1985 vk wagon, was on duel fuel and recently disconnected the lpg and swapped the carby over in hopes to get it to run purely off petrol.

This post is hopefully not similar to any others! None have helped me so far unfortunately. Problem Car has trouble starting after not being run for a while (maybe flooded?). Cranks for 12-15 seconds before turning over. On the occasion it feels like it might even stall! Plus, today for the...

Hey guys, Hoping to wrack someone’s brain. Have a 2008 VE (60th Anniversary) which threw the check engine light about a week and a half ago, threw the scanner on it and it gave me both P2187 & P2189. Cleared both the codes, however they haven’t come back yet (though haven’t driven it much...

I have a Vz berlina purchased a few weeks ago. Upon sale the seller turned the key and nothing happened. He said its just the relay and pulled it out and put a wire across and it started. I took it straight to a spares shop and replaced the relay. A couple of days later it did it again so i got...

Ive just finished an l67 rebuild, Put new injectors in, new coils, tried multiple DFIs, new plugs and have tested my spark leads and, injector pulse, coil resistance and all. It goes pretty well when it goes but seems like it has a slight misfire. But when you turn it off and try to start it...
