- '06 VZ SS 6L
After replacing the start motor on my L76 VZ I have developed a rough idle (tacho needle surging up and down slightly) and it seems to be down a cylinder before about 2k revs
I pulled all the plugs and leads to get at the starter and put a new set of leads on when I reinstalled everything. I have since removed all the spark plugs and checked the gaps and cleaned them and it all seems about right. I did drop a couple of the plugs during the starter replacement but the gap seemed right on them according to my ghetto feeler gauge (about 1.05mm).
It's not throwing any codes at me but it's definitely running rough as **** only since the starter went in.
I've done a search and people seem to think it could be the o2 sensors despite not getting a code. The o2 sensor pre cat on the drivers side did cop quite a manhandling trying to get my chunky hands in there to undo the exhaust flange nuts. But seeing as both plugs and o2 sensors are expensive I don't want to just start throwing parts at it.
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar thing and how they got it sorted.
Cheers
