Hi All,
Posted a while ago about my rough idle issue. Had the ECU replaced which did not fix the issue. Turns out one coil had not been installed properly by the technicians at Holden. The rubber seal was damaged and let water in, which corroded the coil shaft and presumably the internal electrics. This afternoon I fitted a set of 6 new coils which cost $350 including the inlet manifold gaskets. I can't wait to drive it to work tomorrow, it's a different car.
As for the spare ECU I now have, well at least I didn't throw it away. I have also got 5 potentially good spare coils that I'll hang onto while I have the car. The rubber boot is missing as it stuck to the plug (I had to extract it with long nose pliers).
