    Default VT commodore rough idle and bad vibrations

    hey i was just wondering if any one could help me out here , I had extractors put on my vt commodore and ever since than it has slowly started to get a really bad vibrations and idles from any where between 650 rpm to around 500 rpm.

    I have cleaned throttle body as well as plenum chamber , changed IAC valve , replaced hoses from the back off the plenum chamber , oxy sensors , alternator and transmisson mounts

    Any help or feed back would be muchly appreciated as i dont no where to look next

    Cheers

    Were the extractors put on by a reputable workshop? Is there any indication that there may be a leak? That can cause an engine to idle very rough. Also just check ur leads and plugs are in nice and snug as they would have removed them and thus may have not put them back in properly. Just a thought....
