Post by: jayh on 13 October 2012, 16:44

i have a vr6 obd2 that is  still quick and drives spot on ,but i notice that some times  she has a lot more punch than other times ,mostly it drives nice right up thru the rev range ,and others will wake you up very lively ,

Sounds like ignition to me. So replaces plugs leads coil maybe on its way out

i would have thought that if the plugs leads or coil was playing up ,i would see some sort of miss ,i might be wrong ,

I had the same problem with my vr when I bought it, goes fine at low rpm but in the higher end its feels like its got no grunt and it would fart and splutter... Turned out to be the coil park.
