Yeah, thanks those are the codes. Likely needs a new O2 sensor but as for the vac leak, no clue, was hoping it was caused by the faulty reg but clearly not. Codes did come back together though at the exact same time but can't see how the two are linked.

Update to this issue, so it looks like it was the reg after all... Car konked out a couple of times since I made the post and before I installed an eBay Aeromotive A1000 clone FPR. Once just off idle rounding the corner back to my place but restarted fine and again happened a separate time on...

Yeah it's possible... Though I've decided to replace the FPR with an adjustable one and I'll post how my setup looks. That way I can rule out the FPR being bad and if the pump conks out I can upgrade it to a Walbro 255 as that's probably the most logical choice.

Cheers for the replies, yeah I think I'll go for a Delphi since it comes with the cork gasket as mentioned. I'll need to drop the tank too and redo all the breather hoses I've been putting off doing for yonks. Been unable to fill my tank to full I always smell petrol afterwards. It's not just...

So it looks like the fuel pump's buggered in the VR... The brand name ones I've seen for sale like Bosch, Delphi are all made in China these days. Are these gonna last? Performance sites are all selling the USA Wahlbro 255's for not a lot more dosh but they're made for mods and mine is all stock.

Yep, good post. I coupled it with this guide, https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/replacing-the-fan-speed-resistor.7607/ And I fixed my worn out blower and the fan speed resistor for about $45 plus postage. I just wanted to add that if you pry down a bit on the upper black plastic you...
