PCM911T Posted 6December, 2010 Report Share Posted 6December, 2010 my wife says"check the distributor". If you washed it, there's a good chance there is water or condensation in the distributor cap! Try WD40 or RP7 in the cap and coil and spark plug connections. Oh and petrol level?? You need spark, it's probably not major.

PCM911T Posted 6December, 2010 Report Share Posted 6December, 2010 Ok Trev, 2 ideas - Haynes Manual pages 86-87, Ignition fault Diagnosis or Auto electrician. Also check the earth straps and electrical connections.Hopefully a 3.2 owner will chime in.Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 6December, 2010 Report Share Posted 6December, 2010 Hi Trev, Are you sure its not the DME relay? Thats the most obvious cuase of this type of problem in the 3.2's onwards. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pommygeezz Posted 7December, 2010 Author Report Share Posted 7December, 2010 Hi Trev, Are you sure its not the DME relay? Thats the most obvious cuase of this type of problem in the 3.2's onwards. Cheers Chris Hi Chris, Not sure where the DME relay is,I did have an auto elec look at it and he thinks it might be the reference sensor, so i have spoken to motion automotive in South Melb and hope to get it in on Thursday, but depends on a bit of space at his work shop, given its now a "pusher" Just peeved at having to get a tow truck. Anyone heard any thing about Louis at motion automotive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pommygeezz Posted 15December, 2010 Author Report Share Posted 15December, 2010 at least it will be ready for the January fun run. Looks like Motion Automotive are good, most of the cost is in parts and he found some other issues that he fixed, so whilst a lot of money I think that I can have a level of trouble free for a while. Looking forward to seeing you all at the fun run in Jan PS how do I post pics of the beast? Trev TG9II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pommygeezz Posted 16December, 2010 Author Report Share Posted 16December, 2010 Yeah a win, repairs $200 less that anticipated, car appears to even run better and I have an additional $200 to spend on other "stuff". would not mind some carrera cup wheels, just not sure on the offset Motion Auto South Melbourne.... top marks The repair needed, reference sensor, speed sensor, temp sensor, bracket ( original had seized bolts) and some gaskets so most of the cost was parts.

Wide3.2 Posted 28December, 2010 Report Share Posted 28December, 2010 Could be a few things....the DME relay is one thing, also could be the one of three sensors. I had similar similar situatioin some years ago and it was the 'flywheel' sensor....not the real name however I have not my book with me to state the actual title.
