Hi brains trust VX 2001 SS ls1... Had an issue with all lights on dash and was missing especially under load, i replaced ABS module (new) lights fixed, still missing and vibration.. new coils leads plugs and injectors as well as new fuel filter, missing now worse, i have done all the tests isolating one by one by removing plug leads and power to the coil all showed identical symptoms as expected the car has 140.000ks only so any ideas or advice would be great thanks

No it hasn't as yet, fiddling with it today and noticed it chugging black smoke now and then and the engine light came on so i shut it down restarted and it cleared! But no error came up on the dash either, cleaned throttle body as well and still the same.

Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes,
And try it after that,
Being ANY DTC’s will be moved to historical events,
So you can pick them up later, to see what has been recorded/logged.

If the MIL had been activated,
It had now recorded the DTC, and is now historical,
See if you can obtain that DTC, and any others that have been activated in the background, and that will be your best starting point.

I suspect you’ve got some inferior quality replacement parts perhaps the injectors or coils are Chinese knock offs

Did you get it all fixed ?
If so, what was the cause of the fault ?
