Title: PFL DIS pack question
Post by: Diamond Black Geezer on 17 October 2014, 16:50:02
Aren't all Pre-Facelift V6 DIS Packs the same? FL 2.6/3.2 I seem to recall they are different? Will be getting one from a fellow OOFer, most likely, but Local scrappy may have a FL V6 in, too, hence the question...

Reason being - a possible DIS pack faltering on the V6 (non-existent idle, well-documented in Help Section)

Given its a 96 which is probably the early vertical mount one, I might have one.

If its the oval plug, i've a couple here  :y
The coil pack plug is normally the same shape as the maf plug  ;)

Hi all, thanks for the replies.

The snag is (sorry, as documented elsewhere, thought I'd mentioned it in the above post) my father(previous owner) in his wisdom cut the plug off, and spliced a Vectra DIS pack in, so no idea how I'd know which pack is required (if it matters, the difference, I assume, is only in the plug, yes?)

The plan is, whether it be the DIS or not, at some point in time to reinstate the correct DIS pack in - and re-graft a 'proper' Omega plug.

Would my local friendly Stealer be able to tell me, given the reg no, which is the correct DIS pack, or would they get it wrong every year like they traditionally do with the filter on the Turbo Weasel? (  :o ::) ;D )

PS on December 96, she's definitely very much pre-mini facelift, though has the second type of vac pipe routing, which came in about 95 or so. If that helps.

Waffle over, back to the studio!

Update, here's my MAF plug, which I believe is supposed to normally be the same as the DIS pack...

I might be popping over the bridge Thursday and coming back Sunday if I can help out bud  :y

Hi there!

Well, if you're ok coming to Cleethorpes, that's fantastic. You're definitely invited!  :D (got another mate, who's has Sennys, Omegas, Carltons who is going to have a look tonight, hopefully. If he sorts it, of course will let you know)

Also to Tigers_...erm.... Gonads.... thanks! Will probably be scrounging off you in the near future!
