    Default 96 Vs ute running rough under load.

    I have a vs v6 ute that is running rough under load, motor flutters and sometimes misfires. This only started after running the fuel low (under quarter). I have replaced the tank fuel pump, cleaned tank and changed filters with no result. The problem does come and go. Whats next?

    This happened to me. It turned out to be the injectors, so I suggest you check them.

    Hey mate I had the same problem a few months back, most likely your coilpack one or more will be shot. Try checking them,
    Have your car running and get pliers so you don't get a shock, and pull the leads off the top of the coilpacks one by one, they should arc out, if ones shot it won't do anything,
    Good luck brother
