had the same problem, would drive around for a bit then the car would just stall when pulling up to the lights and the idle was all over the place 500-1500rpm, really annoying!!!

thought it was the bov after reading what a few ppl said on the forum ... but i got the o2 sensor changed .... two weeks and the problem hasn't come back :wub:

sounds like a hunting problem... jesus that could be a few things, most prob an air leak

but if you dont no, take it to a mechanic BEFORE you do some damage

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in Brisbane? I would appreciate any help I can get....

Mercury Motorsports is an SAU Qld sponsor and do a decent job from what I've heard. Or, as Nexus9 mentioned, there are a few members around who may be willing to help ya out in Brisbane. I'm in Brisbane but I'm no mechanic but someone like 3LIT3 32 (Daniel) is great.

One of the hoses off the manifold was split. I changed it and everything seemed ok, until last night when it started doing it again. I will try Mercury first. Cheers for that, being a chick I think all mechanics just see dollar signs when they see me coming!!

Yeh. I sometimes think I know more about whats going on with my car than him!

Hmm interesting to see an O2 sensor causing that problem, but entirely possible none the less. I've got a bit of detail on some of the causes of this problem on another thread for the DIY's out there.

Just my own contribution, may make it a bit more clear for some.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
