    Default VS Clubsport bad Miss underload

    Hi Guys,
    I have a 95 VS Clubby on Dual fuel, It has been running great until last night when It developed a bit of a miss.
    It idles slightly worse but at around 2500 to 3000 RPM underload it really coughs and misses. The Tacho Needle jumps around as it does it also so i am wondering if something is grounding out???.
    Has anyone come across this problem before as I really need the car back in action to get to work (missus hates me pinching her car).
    I was also thinking ignition module but am only stabbing in the dark.
    I can drive carefully at 100KP/H constant and it seems ok but load up the revs and she misses.
    Cheers (merry Xmas)
    Richo

    First I'd throw a new set of plugs in - next replace the leads unless they're pretty new then think ignition module. Not sure if your model has a rotor button but if so then check that for tracking/arcing.

    I had a friend tell me that they replaced plugs, cap, etc, etc and it ended up being an ignition module......might be worth a try since I can pull one from my VN Calais 5 litre.

    I tried the Ignition module today and it didnt help at all.... I also checked the EST function of the Computer and it worked fine. The Cap and Rotor look perfect too!

    Holden had the car all day Thursday and still cant get to the bottom of this one......they suggested I did not have Genuine plugs and leads but I have new NGK R's and Bosch leads fitted which are probably better than Genuine anyway????
    anyone know a good diagnostic bloke in Melbourne???

    Yeah they just saying that crap cause they got no idea whats going on by the sounds of it.

    If the tacho's bouncing then i would suggest dizzy and coil to be my first targets.
