I need help from all you "gurus" with a rough idle & stalling at idle problem. I have a BA turbo ute, stock as a rock & came on the forum a few month back with the same problem and it was suggested a new TPS would sort the problem. I replaced it & really shouldn't have touched a spanner on that particular day (complete clusterf**k day), anyway it didn't sort the problem and it has been suggested an Oxygen Sensor is what's needed. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Maybe dirty throttle body, have you tried cleaning it with carby cleaner or throttle body cleaner?

I had a similar problem, so I replaced the Coils and Plugs(Purchased off ebay Cheap but all original) which fixed the rough idle. But I later replaced the oxygen censor which completely fixed my problem and was also purchased off ebay for around $70 and was fitted at a local mechanics for $50 because it was too tight to remove.

I also did the throttle body clean which only made the car more responsive but for a 20 minute job, well worth it.

Search the forum and all the how do's or diy's and they are all on the site with pic's.

Best of luck.

Thanks Yoshi & Dave, did the coil/plugs replacement fix an idle problem or was it an acceleration problem?? Thanks, Tony.

It fixed the Idle problem, I never had a problem with accelerating. Have a look at each Plug and Coil before you buy to check for problems. How many km's has your car done?

Around 95,000Km on the clock.

With 95,000 I would be changing your plugs and coils anyway.

Thanks for your help, I've only owned it for a couple of years, use it rarely and I suppose will have pick through the faults one at a time.

I've had a rough idle for about 6 months now while stock. I've just gotten it tuned and still have the idle problem with new injectors.

It was quite bad the other day after giving it a little on the highway so it was suggested it could be valve springs, but I like the idea of trying a new 02 sensor first going from those ebay prices! My car has just ticked over 100,000ks - May 2007 build.

Yeah, I reckon starting with the cheaper components and moving up will be the way to go. As suggested, a throttle body clean, O2 sensor. If that fails, then plugs and coil.
