blondie 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I got a random problem that only happens when I rally! It started prob 3 months ago, when I, ahem, chased a car and rallied. Sounded like my exhaust had blown but turns out Id lost a senser on the exhaust itself. Garage didnt kno why it was there or what it did and I've checked other VR6s and it dont have it! Anyway, to cut a long story short.....I rallied on way to Pod on Sunday and yet again it happened again! Does ne1 kno why its there, what it does and why wen I rally it does it? Is there too much pressure in the exhaust itslef?? CONFUSED!!!! ~ Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 What do you mean by "rally" it? It's not a term I'm overly familiar with. Link to post Share on other sites

Slim 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Maybe it's the rev limiter kicking in then? Link to post Share on other sites
cadguy77 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 where abouts on the exhaust system is the sensor blondie? got a pic you can post? would be easier to answer with a few more details on location, size shape, etc... Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Only sensor Im aware of that should be on the exhaust is the oxygen sensor but that sits on the cat. Link to post Share on other sites
blondie 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I have a heavy right foot! Its infront of the cat. Just worries me slightly that a garage doesnt kno why its there!!? G8 PHM vr6 doesnt have it ~ Havent got ne pics but can get it up on a ramp and take sum. Have a bung in there at the mo, seems to work a treat!Its not bouncing off d rev limiter happens wen I get close to the red tho Link to post Share on other sites

Seademon 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I reckon its for the oxygen sensor! I could be wrong though but its sounds like it. You do need one otherwise the car will run lean etc and you dont want but post a pic and we'll solve this one easy I reckon Link to post Share on other sites
