Can anyone help me in bleeding the air out of the fuel line in my 09 VE Holden Commodore SS wagon? I've just replaced the fuel injectors and now I have loss of power, it's running like **** and it sounds like it's misfiring. Please help

What makes you think the problem is air?
There no issues whatsoever beforehand with the car and ever since I replaced the fuel injectors poor idle, loss of power. I assume it could be air in the fuel line??? Suggestions?

It wont be air in the line, recheck the injector connections, check the o-rings as well as they might not be seated correctly and will be sucking air past them, disconnect the injectors while the engine is running to locate which ones are causing the issue, it could also just be a faulty injector as well.

Cheapy injectors maybe? Why did you replace them, there must have been something wrong that you thought new injectors would fix?

Another vote for dodgy injectors unless you’ve disturbed something like a plug etc while you’ve been working on it
