hahaha. I'll take that under advisement.
What I can't understand though is why a pair of stuffed cats are causing all the cars weird problems like stalling, dying on hills, dying on flats, will only accelerate on very light throttle, strange gear changes etc etc.
Unless of course they are just blocked which might be the case. But the car will rev fine, and will accelerate fine in 1st gear sometimes.
I had a AU falcon not long ago with a blocked cat and it didn't behave at all like the C5 does. It basically would drive normally up to about 3500 rpm where it would hit a wall and run out of puff. Where as the C5 cuts out and loses all power so the only way I can explain it's behavior is like this:
The ecu detects the cats are stuffed/blocked whatever using readings from the O2 sensors, and then shuts the throttle or kills the injectors etc. it does not feel to me like simply blocked cats. (however I could be wrong of course)
I'm picking the car up tomorrow anyway so i'll try to get a more detailed explanation.
Cheers
