hi, clead up the maf, no difference, sorta cleaned the tps connections not much joy, then while it was running i pulled the tps connection off, and the engine ran a lot better, didnt wanna stall, plugged it back on and it was runny bad as before.
took the tps off, drilled out the two brass rivets, then levered/cracked the tps switch cover off, sprayed some crc contact cleaner in it , got some sandpaper on the metal contacts, and superglued the cover back on,... after that it was fine..... mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "rclough" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 1:13 PM Subject: Re: off topic.................. > VL Commodores have a known problem with the sensor wire in the throttlebody. > The symptoms sound like the description of airflow sensor being rs. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: krogash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 9:36 PM > Subject: Re: off topic.................. > > > > mark, > > > > at a guess would think that it would be the computor trying to sort out a > > faulty sensor. apparently faulty exhaust O2 sensors are main cause as > ecu > > tries to rectify the too rich/lean mixtures.
