Hey all so my v6 vy had a miss and I’ve replaced the leads,Plugs,coil packs and the module the packs sit on but after installing the module it had come right then couple days later miss has come back and took it to get scanned multiple times and they couldn’t pick anything up anyone know what the problem may be I’m suspecting head gaskets but have found no water in the oil?

It is only really missing under load or when revved up when idle and kept at a certain rpm it’s fine

Could be a fuel problem too. Change the fuel filter and run some injector cleaner.

You didn’t go buying cheap plugs, leads coil packs etc off ebay did you?
Could well still be your issue if so
