    I think the tune is the least of your worries.

    Checked your error codes? Or even better, does you fuel pump make a whirring sound when you turn the ignition to Acc.?

    Hi mate I don't go near any car that isn't running properly unless it's modifications that are the cause of the dodgy running. These cars are self tuning and I allways ask people to fix the problems before I have anything to do with it otherwise it's just sticking a bandaid on a sinking ship

    False alarm Jason

    OP Might be to do with you air control unit (ACU)?, always forget the proper name for it. Does the car run ok when you push the gas pedal? but then almost stalls when you let go?

    Can you leave the scanner pluged in and go for drive and see if it happens again?
    If it does you should get a code on the scanner. Good luck.

    What sort of scanner is it.If its one of those cheap ebay ones,half of em dont work properly, and sometimes wont show if any codes are set.A mate brought one a few weeks ago,no errors showing up on the scanner,but errors were showing with the engine light test.apparently it was OBD11 onwards only.No good on a VR/VS.The people that sold it to him told him it would work on VR and later commodores.

    Dirty injectors will make it loose power and run like s--t, it wont show up in a diagnostic scan.
