idle problem VT VX SUPER6 L67 motor
i Have replaced the plugs also done the coils leads and usen premo still it runs good when driven but when idle its rough as please help
what plugs did you use? i just recently changed my leads and plugs(autolite plugs-gapped 1m) and noticed it would miss under load at low rpms, I had to take the plugs out and re-do the gap to 1.14 as the supercharged model requires a minimal gap.hope this helps... Also throw some fuel injector cleaner through aswell.

my machanic did the plugs he recons too thats its injectors
Try injector cleaner first then and see how it goes.That will ged rid of any crap causing the injectors not to work properly.If you still get the problem after running that through the tank give us a holla and well go from there.Have you always run premium on ur SC6?

Yeh its hard to get a decent mechanic,if your confident enough by yourself a gregory's manual for the VT about $40 best thing you'll ever get.I do most of my own work on me car apart from real big major stuff,not upto that yet lolol.I use either bp unltimate or mobil 8000 and around town i get about between 390-430 kms a tank thats running a 10psi boost on charger aswell..although if ya don't flog it lol

Project VT (In Progress)
Hey im currently having this problem too. i recently did a l38 to l67 conversion and at first i thought it was a vacuum leak but after some looking around i found it to be the injectors and to my horror injector 4 is ****ed, this was found out when the idle rpm didnt change when i disconnected the injector and lead at idle on cylinder 4 i also swapped plugs to make sure it wasnt that and yer 4 is still no workies. I just put a whole bottle of injector cleaner in it so im waiting to see if that fixes that up but ive also got an extra 36lb injector here to fix number 4.
any supercharged 6 that lives round my area?
so u have a spare case my number 4 was the one spitting fuel out the other day
wel had a injector clean done and guess what still idlein like crap what else can i do ?
check for vacum leaks and get a compression test done cause if you overheated it , it could be a blown head gasket.
Big-ev i live at deception bay not far from you at all.
check the O rings around your injectors, do that by squirting some water or something around the injectors and if it gets sucked up immediatly or the idle jumps around theres your problem
its all been checked 4 that heads have been done in ast 10 months
on holiday
is the boost control solinoid opening the bypass on the charger at idle
I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
tabbacco is still my favorite vegetable
LG, v8.
could be a valve spring or pushrod.
