TXR05 Member 181 Member For: 13y 8m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane QLD Posted 14/04/12 05:51 AM Share Posted 14/04/12 05:51 AM So, I'm lead to believe that there may be a problem with my VCT. But I have no idea what to check, where to check, or how to check.at about 3500RPM onwards, it just doesn't seem to make anymore power. Just seems to stay the same pull as low to mid range, and was suggested about VCT.So how do I fix, clean, change it ?Already been to the dyno for them to say it's fine there are no problems. But I can't even spin 2nd gear in the wet anymore :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXR05 Member 181 Member For: 13y 8m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane QLD Posted 15/04/12 07:10 AM Author Share Posted 15/04/12 07:10 AM well I've just changed back to my older ones. But removed the ones that were visally f*cked. replaced with some otherones from my father-in-laws car. seems to make some chirping in second in the higher revs but the roads are slightly wet. So I think this may be the problem. Checked the gap on my old plugs and they were 0.9MM.I gapped the new ones to 0.7mm, will that contribute ?
