Hello, lout, et al I tried your super technique to test the CAS sensor. I say "super" because after tonnes of reading on this and other problems, over many, many months yours is the first time that I have read about such a method. I think it's smart, but I'll talk more about that later...

All that has been done, except for the fuel filter and the O2 things. (I am a bit worried about the Cat with the "slightly-rich" readings on the scanner, but that will just have to wait.) I will make further comment to you, that after doing all that - the final thing being the injector...

Thanks for doing that lout. (I hope you're not gonna try charging for the meal!) That's a neat tip and technique. Sort of goes counter to the concept of "cooling the CAS". Brilliant. Kind Regards, boombaby

Very interesting. Like I said I am not discounting ANY of your advice.

Thanks, Immortality! On several occasions that the car stalled on me, and my scanner was plugged in, the single error was showing. So that's one reason I'm not ruling out the fuel filter/pump - as contributing to problems too. (Same with injector issues, I guess. It's running a little...

Thanks, Lex! > Part are ALWAYS new. > For all other Holdens I've had, I would do GMH wherever possible. > For this VT it's been Supercheap, Repco or Autobahn - in that order, and depending on who's go what. > Of course, if parts are no longer made, then guess what? > For the key, it...

Thanks, Fu Manchu! As I said to lout, I am leaning towards that too. My plan is gelling towards CAS replacement. It will be a little beyond me, I suspect. My son uses a great Ultra Tune further south. I live near Armadale. They were also recommended to me by someone else who knows them...

Hi, lout! Yeah, I know what you mean. I fell asleep twice, writing it. I appreciate that advice. I also suspect (probably about 80% level) that it is the CAS doing the stalling, but I think there's more going on too. That's why I mentioned the ignition and fuel filter/pump - for clarity...

Hello, Any/Every! I'm gettin' there. Patience! The fundamental issue is that I have been trying to nail-down a Commodo VT V6 Ecotech "stalling" issue. (We love those don't we!) I will be asking each of you to give an opinion - BUT - rather than getting 10/20/50 people...

Sorry for late reply. I agree with lout. Can't help on the "fuses" part. On the Alternator, it could be damaged. I also wonder about the battery/alternator. (Unfortunately, for a quick "fix", I can't quite remember the routine so others might chip in.) If you happen to have a multimeter...

Out of interest, what happens when your car is standing and revved, plus revved repeatedly?

I agree with Lex in #17 (as an early diagnosis), and #26 (as a repeat). Would also like to add (as an additional check-point), have you checked the quality of the radiator cap too?

Nice tip from Burke's, Fu Manchu. I'm wondering. I remember reading somewhere (a Holden Manual I think?) that when the key is used to "double-lock" the doors on a Commodore (other GMH/GM models too?) the only way to open them again is with the door key. The advice was that they will NOT open...

Hello, bigstew100 I'm not sure what's happening with you BUT... You have a link/thread/subject here... https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/vr-will-not-crank.301757/ started Saturday at 3:18pm ...and another one here...

HAL: Good morning, Dave! Where are we going today? Dave: Hi, HAL! Let's go down to Scabs, and do a bit of surfing, shall we! HAL: Sounds great, Dave. I'm really looking forward to it. Dave: Start the engine, HAL. Let's go. ...5 MINUTES LATER... Dave: Wow, did you see that chick! Hot as...
