tell ya what it is guys. have been trying yo get this motor to run properly for ages. since i bought it actually.
has new cambelt. replaced plugs. replaced filters fuel air etc. changed oil. no oil in plugs.
the car went fine for the first few days after buying it but has been getting steadily worse since then.
symptoms of a misfire yet checking spark on plugs all sparking fine.
idle rough when up to temp.
runs reasonable when cold.
feels like fuel starvation when foot floored. i.e lots of noise and no go. then will suddenly pick up when you dont want it to.
cant find any electrical faults but then am a novice with this type of car.

car is 2.5 v6 elite auto lt
was wondering if could meet up with member who might be able to help with the fault diagnosis at minimal or no cost.
 :) :y

have any of the vacuum pipes been disturbed and put back in the wrong place - this will send wrong messages to fuel system and cause running problems - are there any error codes showing?

it is very possible that they may have been when the cambelt was done by vauxhall garage before i bought it.
there is also a vac pipe that has rubbed through on the rear plenum solenoid valve and the solenoid is bust. could this be the cause maybe.  :)
