    idle speed fluctuates?????

    had that problem with v6 vr and it turned out to be the idle air control valve on the throttle body. took it to holden and they suggested pulling it off and cleaning with carby cleaner ( the valve that is ) as they tend to get a carbon build up and then put back on and reset computer to relearn...

    speedo needle

    speedo needle
