still nutting thru rough idle fix & no one can tell me why relays are hot. The link you sent was a big help nailing sticky indicator so thankyou.. have changed fuel filter & put Lucas injector cleaner thru to help idle an Compression test is next to sus out valve dramas etc if ness.
Strangely enough I still like the car tho
I think it was plane driver who provided the link, and yes the sticky indicator/s is really common. Mine hasn't gone yet luckily. I had a few things contributing to rough idle, all caused by a careless mechanic at Holden:
1. One coil was inserted poorly, resulting in a pinched rubber seal, which in turn let water / moisture in and ruined the coil,
2. The gasket between the air cleaner and MAF sensor was pinched, so it was sucking air from there,
3. A thottle body clean had not been carried out despite my having paid for it.
You may be inclined to try cleaning your MAF sensor (using ONLY MAF sensor cleaner or you'll destroy it). Also take your throttle body off the air plenum, and clean it out with throttle body (carb) cleaner. Make sure you get all of the black deposits off the butterfly and the pivot points, and that it moves smoothly. Mine's been running its best since I did this.
A couple of suggestions -
1. Get it scanned for codes
2. Are all of the relays hot, or just some?
