took the car to a auto electrician today. had a new plug fitted to the coolant sensor, and the car still plays up. sent a message to inject a carb and they said either plug on coolant sensor, afm or high fuel pressure. the auto electrician checked the afm and said it was fine.been on other sites where people are having the same problems,afm or fuel problems are the most common replys. afm from holden is 550. better off getting another engine.got a afm from wreckers for 55 and still no luck. anyone? anything?

Hi cage000
What is you exact problem, has this been ascertained yet ? In other words, what are the symptoms ?
