Vs V8 Bosch Ignition Module

[skeg1967]

I own a VS V8 Chaser and it has been running like a dog for the last 6 months. Problems include rough idle, tacho needle flicking to 2500rpm at idle and also flicking while driving, poor and slugish auto changes and sound system cutting out when car was stopped with the engine running. I took it to my mechanic and he gave the ignition module a tap with the end of a screwdriver and it seemed to fix the problem for a while. The problems came back so I forked out $220 for a new Bosch ignition modude from Holden. I fitted the new module in the car and took it for a test drive and could believe the difference, about 30% more power,ultra smooth idle, responsive auto changes and no tacho problems, it is the best the car has ever gone in the two years that i've owned it. It pissed me off that that i had to buy a new one when the old one probably had a dodgy solder joint or a stuffed resistor or something like that. I also fitted a Holden C.A.I today and with the new module it goes so hard and so smooth, i'm totaly impressed.

If you had purchased the module from a place other than a dealer you probably would have only paid half that price. Glad it fixed your problems. Don't see how it could have had anything to do with your sound system.

There was one on Ebay for $190 buy it now plus postage, Super Cheap wanted $245 and had to order one in so i thought $220 delivered to my mechanic wasn't to bad from Holden.

would that be the body module you are talking about on the right side of the engine. i work in spare parts, and i have sold a few of those modules for the v8s. the are becoming pretty common now.
