daily shes does a 60km trip to work 60k home so gets a good run. Held it in 4th at 110 for a bit to clear any crap in cats. No engine light no miss fires

sounds like a voltage earth issue, try a jump start might be battery. Check all earths

Dropped misses of at airport this morning all good on way home check engine misfire on cyl3, did the normal change plugs coil tricks misfire on 3cyl still there. 2 cans of intake clean and seems to be ok atm, black crap out the exhausts

somethings not right(holden dealers always been heplful picking car up etc), parents are in 70's and hardly drive now so time to sell it off.

holden dealer, all genuine parts used, first few sets under warranty

sidi motor?? Parents have a early series 2 with sidi engine currently at 99000 full holden service history(every 15k) and it chews through coils and plugs evrey couple of years. Plus 2 02 sensors.

just did my first ls1 starter motor(vz SS), ffs you have to take the right exhaust manifold off to do it. While i was there put new headers on plugs leads etc plus 2 broken header bolts another GM issue

bought car from a auction as a work hack had 210000 and had missfire then on cyl 2, used some carbon cleaner stuff through the throttle while lad held the revs up(terrible smoke smell) fixed the misfire but at 222000 its cylinder 3 now. Not spending much on it now timing chain noise at start up...

did ya have a look? Interested in my LFX keeps getting misfire codes thinking carbon on valves again,

what about the leaky thermostats(**** job to fix and $$$$), sidi valves carbon up, sludged up PCV design fault, sidi oil burn issues. dog of a engine

ecotec, old design but so reliable good on fuel good torque. Just replaced a holden trax 1.4l engine with 104000k on it head gasket gone another holden common **** problem.

do like others soft wear update and sell car. Holden should be shot for the alloytec

with that avg speed probably not far off. I found a really good country run and put foot down a bit helped mine(clear the cob webs out) 91 to 95 to 98 makes no difference for my economy(around 9.5l avg speed is 60k)

Very interested when VT to VZ stuff available

lots of info on this fault a lot are easy fixes new wiring loom on rear is common. Best to get codes read so you know problem
