have you checked for error codes?
youve changed your extractors... did you damage the oxy sensors?
i havnt done error check. how do i go buy doing that.. and wouldnt the exhurst ppl be able to tell if oxy sensor are stuffed...mayby i should go back and see them
..
You have to test the o2 sensor on a graph or multimeter. If the job was installing extractors then thats all they will do.
The o2 sensor just screws in and the electrical connector just plugs in.
Might be a leak in the exhaust manifold/extractors they installed.
Check for vacuum leaks
Check if the intake duct has no leaks.
Check the maf sensor.
wat is a maf sensor... and wats best way to cheack for vac leaks
aww sweet.. es i will be cheacking that thanks heaps mate... wat do u say bout the o2 sensors should i take it back and get them cheacked...
Well first of check for codes before you go any where.
bridge pins 5&6 on the diagnostic connector and see what you get.
There is a right up on this some where on the forum have a search.
Also you can use a multi meter to test the o2 sensor,but the best way to test it is on a graph.
I dont think the o2 sensor is your problem. Because the o2 sensor only works when its heated up to its operated temp.
Does your car idle rough straight away from cold start?
yes but not as bad as when it warms up a bit
thats where it starts to miss, but sometimes ony slightly
Here mate
Great writeup and it has pics.
Good luck.

ok i have done error checks and it showed 12 system pass, any other ideas haha
check for good compression. Make sure all tour leads and injectors etc are plugged in securely. if all ok maybe a fuel flow test, but only if there are no inlet / exhaust leaks. inlet leaks can be found by spraying round with engine start while idling, if there is a leak the engine will pick up a little as it sucks some in.
thanks heaps guys.... it turned out to be the spark plags.. 2 of the plugs were cracked on drivers side, must of been inpacked when i damaged extractors..... she runing brand new.......![]()
