Hi guys havent been here for a while but i have no one else to turn too lol.
I'm having a lot of trouble with my engine, this is what happens;
-rough idling when cold
-hunting/surging
-loss of power
-blows smoke when it does it
-weirdly doesnt play up all the time, only sometimes
-will stall the engine

i know its an electrical fault otherwise it would do it all the time. i just replaced the spark plugs, leads, throttle position sensor, o2 sensors.

thanks guys...

Check clean maf..Coolant sensor ...
Check leaky diaphram in fuel reg.....
Check all connections on battery especially earth connections chassis to motor....
Check TPS voltage.. It should be under 1volt at idle and over 4.5v wot.....

another place to look might be the auto trans mine was rooted and had similar problems with the engine. Overdrive was locked on electranically causing the ecu to dump heaps of feul into the engine at all times
