Sometimes bad coil packs leads or plugs lead people to believe the transmission is bad in the vs vt v6 it seems to be quite common.
Quite often it is the engine misfiring upon shifts or not running on all cylinders etc.

Re: Delco probie
Never thought of that to be honest...thanks for the tip Dec_head.....maybe the new plugs making a bigger difference than expected...
Norton finally let me download the ose enhanced flash tool v127...took a few attempts before norton finally gave up (happens apparently) but downloaded now..just have to set it up to read the ecu and get those calcs....even with a reset ecu and new sensors, acceleration is still wanting...took a log ahortly after the car was back together and had been driven....acceleration still shows a lean out but the sensors are at least both working...at this point, the sensors have not been corrected for the earthing problem....that is to come...
Vs V6 engine and trans 1.07 –tp5.adx with Tunerpro RT 5.00.6356.00 used..

I have been using a free internet security for a few years now from http://www.comodo.com/products/free-products.php
Never had any dramas.
I also use http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html it's been good to me as well.

Re: Delco probie
It worked really well...both the program and the usb!!
...thanks for the info and assistance VL400....been frustrating not knowing what was running the engine....I know all the members work as a team and what a team
.....you guys are amazing!!...thankyou...
next question is that it was replaced due to cold start hesitation and pinging (no sh##@@!!)....approach holden for the replacement??....not sure what to do next...
was originally told by a holden auto tech that I had a "lazy" starter motor that needed replacing

Re: Delco probie
i'd recommend getting another memcal and burn the required bin onto it .... or send it to someone and they'll replace the tune on it
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: Delco probie
Thnaks for the advice holden202.....just for info...approached holden for advice about the memcal.....a guy in spares contacted someone in victoria who in turn provided the following advice...they confirmed that BTXP was the correct memcal and for holden to fix it required me to provide details of the cars vin...a memcal costs $204.60 not including postage from vis or installation, but holden would require the vehicle and all keys forpart of the day....although a total cost could not be given as they hadn't done it before....
