I’m curious where does that green wire lead to? I might want to check resistance and if anyone knows the resistance max values for the DFI wires? Thanks

Finally got around to repair it (side note, I only drove car once on Sunday since this happened which went fine then this morning died once after starting then worked, contact cleaner can get you by). Used silicone spray and a sewing pin which easily removed the connector. When looking at the...

So… I got a fuel tank and pump complete off a 99 WH Caprice. After removing tank and setting up the caprice tank to fit into my car (2002 VX Calais) turns out the plugs are different. LS1 by the way, I thought they were all the same maybe not VY/VZ but yeah if anyone can confirm if the plugs are...

Thanks mate appreciate it, I’d rather fix it for good but over the weekend will idle it and see how it behaves. To be honest I’d clean it thoroughly and leave it be instead of messing the harness but who knows what could happen in future and I’m not too keen to replace the entire harness because...

Well checked coils and all 3 have strong blue spark, no miss anymore after turning it off and on again. I’m a bit skeptical driving it if enough resistance builds then kaput once more… it’s been idling for the past 30mins normally

I just cleaned the DFI plug with some contact cleaner from work and it fired up but has bit of a miss

Quick question before I start cutting and soldering. Also side note, pretty hard to depin the DFI plug looks like a solder job unfortunately (entire plug). My question is: does the CAS send signal to the DFI and then leads and therefore spark plugs OR does it work opposite way? It could be CAS...

Don’t have any diy wreckers in Sydney anymore. I’m waiting for a second hand plug on the way from eBay so I’ll work around with that when it comes

My issue would be the burnt pin though, so I would need to remove it from the plug housing. The wires aren’t kinked but I will see when I take the insulation off. If I can depin from the connecter plug I can cut and crimp together the new wire with the better condition pin.

So you never repaired the plug? What did you do to get the car running? Since the DFI plug has so many wires tight together in the harness, Is it better to solder or crimp and heat shrink each wire? (Planning to fit a used plug I bought so might try depin it if not then attach new plug to harness)

How did you depin from the plug?

So the Ute decided to die randomly with no warning or anything just dead… after towing it home I noticed spark was the issue. After replacing few spare DFI plates and coils it turns out the plug has one corroded pin. I have seen patch looms and don’t mind soldering a used plug but it’s only one...

I got a tank with pump off a 99 WH caprice would it fit direct into an 02 Calais

External Z156 I think, I replaced only few months ago

Never heard of that or seen it I’ve been under the car multiple times with diff, gearbox, exhaust and driveshaft out and never seen an external filter besides the standard one near the tank
