vr 5 litre running rough when hot nearly stalls when takeing off

[Critterkent]

alternators charging I haven't noticed the lights dim and its missing when idling at the lights go to take off it shutters really bad then once moving it has no power and struggles to get to 80

Checked leads/cap/rotor etc.

Sounds like dropped more than one cylinder if really bad off idle but I'd expect it be electrical.

Standard check is bridge pins 5 & 6 for fault codes.

thanks mate I will recheck them just to make sure I missed something it runs fine in the mornings drive for an hour no problems but on the way home when there is traffic it starts running rough and loose power.

Temp sensor in spec?

Alternator belt tight?

so i have checked leads alternator belt dizzy swapped ignition module everything seems to be fine and still having the same problem I have found that if I don't get stuck in traffic I have no problems its only happening when I get stuck in traffic I'm a bit lost on this one

Old radiator?
My VS used to cook in 40deg heat and traffic with A/C on
Mew OEM copper type radiator fixed it.

The radiator isn't to bad I cleaned it out probly 6 months ago gave the motor a flush and new coolant . I am going to film what its doing and post it up . I will also put up a photo of what the temp is sitting on when it happens

That's where the temp sits when its playing up
