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!!

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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
