- 2005 vz commodore executive wagon 3.6
hey guys
so i have a 2005 vz auto 3.6l ecotech wagon.
it was idling rough when i bought it but being mechanically minded i thought it would be easy to diagnose. boy was i wrong.....
these are the things i have tried to fix the problem.
i currently always run the ac when driving cause having it on it doesn't idle as bad
my fuel consumption is pretty high at around 15L/100km
Replaced
oil/oil filter,
fuel filter (still had factory one from gm when car was assembled and its done 288,000kms)
air filter
spark plugs
Troubleshooting Ive tried
tested for vacuum leak by spraying carb cleaner near hoses etc
cleaned the throttle body
cleaned the purge valve
cleaned the maf sensor
checked fuses
checked hoses
checked coolant
checked transmission fluid levels and color
