I recently bought a cheap VXR8 (6.2 manual 110k miles). The engine light was on when I bought the car but has since turned off, it has a missfire/hesitation between 3000 and 4000rpm so far all I have done is the spark plugs and leads (AC Delco oe). The only codes were fuel trim to rich bank 1 and 2. Any ideas what I should replace next? I’ll be doing the oil and filter next time I’m home but I can’t see that being related.

Since buying the car the ABS/stability control lights have come on with no fault codes. The speedo briefly stopped working but has been fine since.

It’s a lovely car other wise, I’ve already taken it on a small road trip across Belgium and aside from the above issues it’s been spot on.

I’ll have a look next time I’m home, the car starts no problem after sitting for 2 weeks so I imagine that the battery is fine

Easier said than done, I work away at the moment, home for 2 weekends per month at random with short notice.
