- Today we get in a 2005 Holden Commodore or what we know as a Crewman that is a VZ model with a 3.6L engine. It comes in running rough at idle only with an engine light on. We get the Verus out to check the codes, then whip out the smoke machine the find the likely culprit.

Nice video, using old style diagnostics and your brain to isolate rough running. A+
Thanks George, much appreciated!
Well done mate just watched yr vid on the rough idling vz crewman ,Your smoke machine came up with the goods,awesome work + thankyou for sharing

Awesome find mate! Smoke machine made easy work of that; further proves I should get one like you said!

LOVE FROM BRISBANE AUSTRALIA!❤ YOU ARE STUNNING AND BRAVE!❤️💯💪
Awesome vids mate! Love it that you work Aussie cars so it help me out too haha.
Thanks Julian. These Aussie cars need a good fixing too! 🤣 Where in Australia are you?
@@romanosautomotive haha that’s for sure! I’m all the way in the Illawarra nsw
Great work😃
Good info mate for us less mechanical noobs. Going out to check under the bonnet of my VZ 1 tonner which has started to idle a bit ordinary. Thanks for the info
No problem at all, I hope you get it sorted. Thanks for watching!
Good mechanic👌
Thanks Greg!
I just got a second hand crewman 80,000km doind a similar thing going to try this 🤞
Nice work.
If I'd gone to Holdens (rumour has it they don't exist anymore (yay!!!)), they'd have quoted $3,500 for "urgent repairs", and fixed everything that DIDN'T need to be fixed (or pretend they did, anyway), IGNORE the rough idle and say "oh, try some fuel injector cleaner next time you fill up...."
hey mate own a vz with the same ticking noise that happens on and off if could give us info on how or if it was resolved
Smoke machine is such a good test. 👌
Ripper test. No need to hunt around!
Ty
Nice.
Thanks D.D. I hope you are well over there!
@@romanosautomotive like the rest of the world hanging on in. Business is slow so taking the opportunity studie and learn. Stay safe my friend I am enjoying your channel.

You better run, you better take cover, ye-aah
Haha I'm glad you know the slang version of the Aussie classic!
I saw Colin out on Long Island in a small venue . He did a meet and greet after the show . Great chap . Put Tommy Emmanuel on your list . He is one of the best ! And he only keeps getting better ! He puts 100 % in every show !
Damn, all these years, I've been "MIS-hearing" it. Always thought it was "where women Blow".
Just a small leak lol. Nicework
Hahah only a little one this time 😜
Can anyone tell me what the absolute throttle position % at idle should be for a VZ, mine sits at like 12% and I am wondering if my throttle body might be broken. I still have rough idle after plugs coils injectors and hunting all over for vaccum leaks 🤬
12% is correct
After change of spark plugs SV6 commodore vf. Now slight rough idle notice but drives and accelration is smooth like butter.
whats cause????
idle sits on 550 and stable even on idle but i can feel slightly rough.
I also have this, did you ever get it sorted?
Looks like you commented twice, I responded to your other one
C Lang where are you located? Maybe I can point you to someone local to you
Would you be close to Bellbowrie Mechanical, they are great down there!
@@romanosautomotive Thanks for the suggestion!
What is that part
I’ve got the Same problem at the moment to a lot worse
