Where is my VY V6 N/A ADX file ?

Post by OZ38 »

Hi all, Gumby here again.

I can't sem to find the ADX file for the VY V6 N/A engine. I need to try some data logging to hopefully find a fault with my engine. But when I start TunerPro RT & click on the aquistion tab I don't see a ADX for the VY V6 N/A engine.
I know I have downloaded just about everything on here now so where would it have gone.

When lookng at folders in my documents I have a Tunerpro folder & another saying PCM Hacking. The hacking one seems to be fuller of PDF's & the TunerPro one full of ADX files.

Sorry about this guys please help if you can.

Cheers

Deek

I think the ADX files are actually labelled VX as the flash PCM are the same in that regard.

yes

P.S. The solution is clearly to fit your L67 and enjoy it :silent: :D

I have an annoying issue with the ute which started suddenly recently. It misses & sort of surges under load at about just off closed throttle to 3/4's throttle. When it started happening I had just driven to the city (Perth) with a trailer on the back. Stayed the night & when I got up the next day it started fcuking around & has not stopped.
Things I have done since it started:
Replaced spark plugs
Replaced ignition leads
Replaced coils
Replaced DFI unit
Replaced Throttle Position Sensor
Replaced the fuel filter
Cleaned the MAF
Cleaned & re-oiled the K&N filter
Checked the vacuum hoses.
Throttlebody Clean.
Oh & I have had it from new, it has done 236,000 k's. Gets serviced every 5000k's & always ran on BP98 Ultimate with the occasional to regular bottle of injector cleaner added to the tank. Only mods are Yella Terra 1.9:1 roller rockers & K&N filter with good CAI .
SO... now I am lost as to the cause & want to try logging it as hopefully it might show something. Clutching at straws I know, but I am shit out of ideas.

Cheers

I had this problem with my brothers vy turned out to be the spark plug leads. They have the steel shielding around the rubber and someone had fitted them by pushing on the steel sleeve not the rubber in the back and every now and then it would loose contact and present the same symptoms you've got then come fine for a couple of seconds then back to running like crap found it as it was idling with the bonnet up when it started running like crap you could just hear some cracking noises down the sides of the block almost like a noisy injector

give the ADX's from Joe's link a go. VX Flash should still work.

Have you checked fuel pressure?

I have replaced all the leads already & made sure I fitted correctly. The issue is not there if you are gentle on the Throttle movements. So it does almost feel fuel related now. Recently while doing a couple of logging runs I swear the thing sounds at times like it is pinging when I feel the missing / surging. A bit like that rattle noise you will hear if you tried to take off in top gear (manual) just before the engine stalls.

Cheers
