Before you replace your c.a.s read this
HI everyone after having starting problems with my vl i came across many articles regarding the replacment of the CAS which would be causing my vl to start only sometimes. after i had purchaced a brand new CAS i was sure i would not have problems till after the first run i had the same problem. What the! On further investigation and many and i mean Many hours going over every inch of the electrical system i had FOUND the problem many vl owners are having, which is not the CAS but a simple EFI RELAY which is locatated on the body behind the battery. after replacing this relay i have never replaced a CAS and never had any starting problems. if anyone wants anymore info or pics please reply as im happy to help.

I to belived it may have been the cas dooby.lol. but on further inspection it was my reverse polarity relay which then inturn caused my coil to *** up hence why so many cas fail. its cheap to repair and stops alot of hassle further on down the track.

I too can vouch for this!
I was having a lot of intermittent problems earlier in the year with my vl. The car would be fine for a few days and then stall and not start for 5mins to an hour. One day it would not restart so I replaced the ecu and cas (twice) and also suspected the fuel pump to be faulty as it wouldn't prime when it stopped. These had no effect and i had to pull out the service manuals. The reverse polarity relay supplies 12v to the injectors and this in turn supplies the signal via the ecu to the fuel pump. Checked mine and it had corroded inside. Since replacing, my car has driven to and completed a skid pan day (500km round trip) and few long spirited drives without a hiccup. |

any farther info on these relays .. my car hasn't started in about five months, ive replaced everything, loom(checked and replaced every wire), coil(power to the coil but no spark), dizzy(cai), plugs, fuses, fusebox relays, the starting system is 100%, fuel system is 100%, o2 replaced, it started out as rb30 auto stock berlina, is currently rb30det, manual, just fitted the cooler. it was running after turbo went on and after manual convertion. its bloody killing me. anyway i'll try anything.. one relay is the neural stafty switch which i have bypassed the purple wire(last year before the manual went in. so the other two relays????? im on the edge of going back to the v8's they work better more relaible..
