    Default vt ss 5l idling very rough

    hey guys, i recently changed all my leads due to a slightly rough idle, i did half of the leads started the car and it ran fine, went to do the other half and then turned it on onlly to find it was idling really rough and would barely take off without wanting to stall, i am sure all the leads are in the right places and every lead is firing, what could be the problem?

    thanks
    chris

    Are you 100% sure you put them back on the dissy in the correct spot? I know there is a diagram on here somewhere that you can cheack it against.

    I usually pull the leads and dissy out together so i dont fk up the order.

    Hey Chris, I bought the same car today and had it transported from Brisbane. I have the same problem on idle running rough. My engine light comes on for a bit and goes off again. I had the car tuned today usual stuff plugs etc....Im thinking it may be the oxygen sensor, not sure though.

    Check that you have put them back in their correct order and that they are all seated properly. Check out the attached diagram. Also it's possible that one of the last four leads is faulty.
