He says he should have got an SS commodore. But when the gen3's where first released there were a few owners who put similar stickers on their cars, as they had similar problems. I think the first batch of gen3s consumed a bit of oil when thrashed, and obviously if the oil wasn't topped up the engines seized.

That was when the gen3 was first brought in, and the xr6 turbos are still new so problems with a few are to be expected I suppose.

Why is he a cockhead? cos he got a shitty car and you don't believe him? you sir are a knob jockey PHATR32. My dad has a brand new calais that cost him over 50,000 dollars and it was a lemon, things were constantly going wrong with it. So we got rid of it. Chances are the guy was leasing the car so it wasn't a problem for him to get rid of it, cos at the end of his lease the car is taking from him and sold off. Just like my dads car was.

Think before your write something moron.

And having seen 4 examples of a car in which thousands of them are produced anually makes you an expert on there reliabilty?

I thought not.

Actually i prefer my euro's and japanese cars, but at the moment i'd choose a BF over a VZ, but when the new VE comes out this year that may be changed.

Just igronant ramblings like that are stupid and annoying.

That still dosent put me off buying one later this year...

my mates dad has a GT-P with well over 320kw.. chip, exhaust, intake, dropped on its balls, black rims etc etc etc and not one problem

there will always be a couple of duds out of the bunch but it all depends how you treat the car in general..

haha he prob got a EX motor test car or something that had been thrashed hard :D

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
