hey guys and girls my problem is getting bad if i cant fix it i may have to sell and get a smaller car witch is going to kill me. i cant afored the fuel the way i am now its crazy. so here is my problem im only getting around 180/200km per tank and thats if im lucky lol my ride i just a N/A vl berlina with sports exhaust. and it runs ok i ges im not to shore though as this is the first N/A iv been in cos my step bros is a vlct. now if i put my foot down it like takes a few seconds b4 it takes of eg i slow down and turn a corner then as im leaving the corner i put my foot down it like jerks then just takes of after iv tested the AFM and it reads 382ohms which i have been told is the factory standerd replaced my oxigen sensor with a second hand one to see if that would help as the wires were almost split through on the old one that didnt help oh and over the last week or so i have been getting a bit of exhaust smoke which i have never had b4 but it has been doing the jerking thing when i put my foot down since i got it so if any one can help that would be great

fuel pressure regulator? mine went bad and went down to about 150km/tank

Hey man, do you get black smoke coming out of the exhaust?

Temp sensor O2 AFM those are the main 3, that cause issues such as this.

a good way to improve fuel is to replace the vacuum hoses from your fule tank. its been 20 years and am 100% that they are crack, and fuel is evaporating from there too. i did this it cost me about $120 and now i fill a full tank and i know that the only way that its going is through the injectors

yer i bet would b fuel pressure regulator... get one from the wreckers or borrow 1 and change them over.

es anyone know what i would be paying for one?? new and how much for one from the wreckers???

give burson a call

just get a fuel pressure guage and check it. dont go spending money on stuff you dont need

if its not the presure reg. then i would try taking your o2 sensor out, geting a clean rag or something and wiping all the soot and crap off, then give it a clean up with a fine piece of sandpaper... worked for me

get a service manual and check your AFM, CTS and TPS... and replace if faulty... Otherwise, someone else had a similar problem and it was due to un-even compression levels

vacuum leads man i had the same problem in a vn commodore it happens a lot had to replace mine twice in about a month

throttle positioning sensor?

how do i test it??

just have to double check which wires to test ( i think its the bottom two) but they should have continuity with throttle closed and go open circuit as soon as you open the throttle. p.s. its not the 02 sensor

i got same ish .. just noticed .. ill only get about 210ks out of a full tank ... its turbo and 10psi ... also i have a cracked exsocred .. as well sometimes if i exarate to start the car i smell a little bit of pertol .. ( is it wont start in the mornings ) and idles pritty doggie in the mornings is this normal ..
