Just bought a Holden commodore clubsport and there seems to be a problem when starting out, I put my foot to the floor and the thing barely moves and lots of white smoke pours out from behind the car. Not sure what the issue is was wondering if anybody has had this problem before! TIA

i was going to say that^^ if it was a ford. but he's saying it's a holden so my bet is the engine is stuffed

I think you summed it up in the title.

it appears someone has repowered your vehicle. possibly with a rotary, vtec, or multipla engine.

I still can't see what the problem is.

Thanks guys but I solved the problem by swapping for a honda accord vtec, car still has the first symptom of not being able to move with my foot flat to the floor but at least no white smoke this time!

I think in this case you'll find the white smoke is now coming out of the exhaust pipe and not from the tyres.
Holdens have vtec, it's variable valve timing when you get valve float right!

polly - shhhhh! You'll disturb them.
You don't get to observe these creatures socialising very often.
Keep quiet, and if we're really lucky we might get to see a mating ritual.

think its caused by cheap tires. My ss only spins and smokes for a couple of hundred yards. but as wheels go round fuel light comes on. Think its a factory fault.

The blues the hi beam and the red could be any number of insignificant others. If they flashin, just remove the bulbs. Likely just another factory fault. .
