ok, eb series 2, running rough but only when warmed up, when first started and driven cold, drives like a dream, but about 5 minutes later when the car is warmed up, it starts to shake and shudder when u try to accelerate, thought it might of been low oil pressure, had that fixed, still doing it, thought it might of been blocked exhaust, new 2 1/2" exhaust, still doing it, have noticed that water temp is not rising as much us used to when it was running fine 2 months ago. could this be a fault causing it???? i have also had the intake changed to a POD filter, but have been told that that would not make the car do what it is doing now. i am at a where no matter what i have fixed it still does it, my mechanic cant find anything wront with it, and for the last 2 months it has been really giving me the ****s. if anyone out there knows if it may be a common problem with the EB, or if they can think of anything that may be causing it, please let me know, any help would be greatfully apreciated...........
getting to the point i would rather drive my fathers stock holden than my baby girl..... and i HATE holden... once again thanks for any help.....

Also check the oxygen sensor as these can send them up the creek seeing as your exhaust has been played with there may have been some damage done. Cheers Jim.

Another thing to check is a little plastic "F" piece hiding on the side of your inlet manifold just above the oil filter it has a couple of vacuum lines going to it.
They press fit onto the manifold & they split which lets in excess air, this would |
