Hey Mick having played with a couple of V6’s in my cars and my daily being a CV6 Monaro I’ve come across some of these issues, recently my Monaro was running like a pig (280k on the clock) turned out the be a coil
easy fix, have you tried running some good injector cleaner through it, I saw the Ute in Nari but don’t know how manyK’s it has on it but I have also used Berryman B12 which is a really good product if the engine has a lot of K’s on it or if as you say it hasn’t been run much the injectors could be fouled
You’re probably all over it just thought I would add my two cents worth mate.
By the way where is the oil leak???
yeah i'm pretty sure it's a coil as i've said i had a V6 commodore years ago doing kinda the same thing, under very very light acceleration you'd swear the gearbox is shuddering (i thought it was the gearbox in the commodore) then it kicks down a gear and is fine, also if going slow and stand on it it breaks down, but because the plugs are such a pain in the RRS to get at i figure they haven't been changed in a while so they'll get done while i'm there might as well do the leads and then i'm still tossing up weather to do the DFI module they're expensive though $370 i have changed one once before but can't remember why
yeah i don't know the actual Ks speedo says 56000 but the car's been done for 19 years and they drove it everywhere so i'd assume it's got more than that on it, i'll do the electrical side of things if it doesn't come good then i'll start on the fuel system, also may just throw my hands up take it to a dyno place and tell them ring me when it's running right
oil leak is back of the engine somewhere getting it on a hoist next week, another kinda bad thing some fool i'm guessing where they took it to get the blue slip has jacked it up on the sump and squashed it which i think is now hitting the front crossmember but it's not leaking there
thanks for the suggestions
