I've had a rough idle from about 130-150k. Startup is fine though. No engine light ever, spark plugs done. Its an L77 and gets run on 95,98 and e85 and is no different. Could be a dozen things but just thought I'd mention it. So who makes good injectors if I need some?

If you read that VE thread you posted in, there is a lot of talk about cold starting improving in flex fuel cars by changing from 98 to 95 fuel.

I had bad cold starts with mine using Shell 98. Changed to Shell 95 and all was good in the world.

I recommend you have a read of that thread.

Thanks Wayne, for the update. Appreciate it. Sounds like a consumer covered warranty issue for holden to fix due to the faulty part which was originally fitted to the vehicle( bosch).

Injecters are normally "for the life of the vehicle" -cleaning /maintenance/fuel issues aside of course.
These injecters are FAILING HOLDEN.

Cheers mate for the alternative after market supplier which you have nominated. However i still question why you have the need to replace the injecters which were originally fitted as stock in your vehicle in the first place ? ..why are you buying new injecters ?

Because the ohms reading are getting to high the ones i replace , i can tell when some thing is wrong as it starts to run and idle rough . It not a big job to test them and then change them , i only replace when they fail .
