    As above read the fault codes (if any)

    How do you check if the falt codes? and it was the same weather each time, just sometimes its as if the car is not breathing at high revs, other times its like a rocket. the time it was last under powered was a cold night, it was working fine last sunday day time which was red hot. i'm goi to clean plugs and change leads this week, see if oil is getting in! as its pissing out the front cam cover on to the manifold, just had a new gasket fitted the cover must be warpped!

    Change the plugs, they are only a couple of quid each from Vauxhall.

    Cav 3.0 v6
    PRoblem solved!

    It was the throttle cable clip had come off and cable was stuck in the gromit, so even tho i had the accelerator pedal pushed right in i was only at 1/2 throttle, I've fixed it with some Pykey PVC tape until i get a chance to get to vauxhall or a scrappy to get a new clip!

    I've only ever driven my v6 cav, and when i had the egine fitted i had had a regal cool stst fitted, but the engine now runs at about 95c, wat do standard ones run at, or do i just need a a fan switch to go with it?
