The Holden V6 doesn't have a distributor.
The stalling problem, assuming the car drives OK in all other respects, is probably related to the throttle body or idle motor. The will need cleaning & resetting.
Unfortunatly you will need a sc |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Cleaned throttle body.. as i was doing that i found a vaccum hose that ran
from the throttle body to the vaccum cannister that was disconnected. Must have come off when i switched the battery on the weekend. Now seems good as gold.
