Hi all, I've just recently had all the belts changed on my VZ SS, since then it has been running a little rough, is this just coincidence or is it a timing issue from the mechanic not retuning it after the new belts went on?

By all belts do you mean the main belt and air con belt? anyways the belts have nothing to do with timing.

SS..therefore a V8.
A coincidence because changing drive belts on a V8 will not alter anything.....they are old school. He must have fiddled with, or dislodged something.

Running rough as in, while idling every so often it's like it misses, about every 5-10 seconds, I've checked all the plugs and connectors etc, there's no check engine light on the dash. Could a failing aircon clutch be causing some stress on the engine back through the belts or anything like that? It was running fine before the service and belt change out.
