vz sv6 dying!

[XStatic64]

I got Bosch plugs from repco, platinum tipped at trade price was around $60, Slightly cheaper then what i was quoted from holden. I would definitely get them from holden unless you can get a discount elsewhere.

hard to change yourself.
or should i just go to a shop and how much would that be?
also would this solve the problem of my car stalling sometimes.

I had a very similar problem to you that turned out to be the coils. The thread above should help you with some more info on changing your plugs and where to source cheap coils.

coils? I didnt think these motors had them, correct me if im wrong but it was electronic ignition as in all done by the computer?

One ignition coil per spark plug = 6 coils.

They plug directly onto the spark plug & bolt onto the engine to carry the weight & prevent movement.

A genuine set costs an arm & leg from Holden, but you can pick up Bosch kit off Ebay for about 30% of the cost of genuine ones.

Fitted a set today together with new plugs & front O2 sensors. Not a problem.

lol not taking the piss mate, i honestly thought the alloytec was coil less, as there are no real Ignition lead to coil pack process.. similiar to my VR. Does this mean coils are Upgradable, assisting in more power and better detonation?
