Took grenade (dec 01 3.0lt pootrol) to a dyno tuner and got the works done on her. problem was solved on the phone when we told him the fault codes coming up and he said that it was typical of the blow up problems that these cars give......

*Air flow sensor $247.97
*Vacuum Solenoid $200.94
*Fuel filter $22.00
* Dyno test and report $95.00
*used vacuum actuator - no charge
* test power and boost. faults found: erratic idle, sudden loss of power, high boost pressure couples with erratic boost pressure swings. Severe air entry into fuel pump via poorly made drain plug thread on lower fuel filter partially seizing vacuum boost control solenoid, unfiltered air entering air inlet and coating sensor wire on air flow sensor, sensor actuator had been tampered with in attempt to rectify high boost due to sensor and valve failure, replaced actuator with used unit. $460.00
*NOTE: boost gauge reads 4psi too high at maximum boost, test carried out with master gauge. No further faults found after work carried out on the day.
Total cost $1128.50

PS......the "quads" are here....! Bridie Kate was born last Tuesday (10th). We are both doing really well after a little hiccup with her at the start but she is well and we are home!
