you and me both my EL has done 230,000km and its on its 3rd aux shaft.

OK.. that ruins my theory on AU only bad batches..

why is it that some people can do 500,000 with no problems and others have your luck...

Are the dizzy's getting tighter or imbalanced or what.. is bizaar

dizzy is gay.

lpg is gay

by eliminating these two things, a falcon's reliability has increased ten fold

ive done 2 aux shafts within 2,500km yes thats correct two thousand five hundred killometers i am officially the aux shaft killer

Thinking i should have snapped up a BA twin cam for $500..............

Daz

ba twin cam $500
now thats cheap...

wow you are the shaft killer, 2 in 2500,

their gettin cheap troyman i was in wreckers today out narellan and they said they sold one with limited warranty but in good condition with 90k for $400 the other day, thats still less than half the k's of my ea...... turbos are a different matter though of course.
n i've always said since i got my bf, "this motor would go so much better in my ea"
<daydreams>

Hi all.
I have this exact same missing / poor Idle problem with My EL!
The Car starts First Time, but Motor Shakes and the Car feels like i'm sitting in a Rattle!
The Drivers Mirror Vibrates and the Exhaust is clearly shaking from side to side.
When I set off slow, the Car nearly Stalls, and you feel the Computer Compensate and Revvs increase!
If I Gunn it, she picks up OK! This Miss stays even when the Car is Hot.
This all started After I had the "Faulty" Coil Replaced!
I had a Good Quality BOSCH Coil Fitted, so I do not think the Coil is the problem?
Prior to the Coil Failing completeley (car refused to start and smelled Rich like a Petrol Spill!) the EL Ran PERFECTLY on Petrol!
Fortunateley my EL is Duel Fuel, so have tried Running on both Fuels and the problem only persists on Petrol!
This may assist other EL Owners, with this problem.
She Runs Perfect on Gas, No Missing at All! So clearly the problem is on the Petrol Side.
Because she Runs Great on Gas, the Fault is Not the Plugs, Leads, Dizzy Cap, Coil, Rotor, Vaccuum, or Gasket related!
I Looked for Petrol Leaks around the Injectors and there is Not.
I took it to a Garage, and $99. later, they Claim Dirty Injectors.
I am now Running 98 Octane Fuel and Injector Cleaner. The Mechanic Claims 3 Full Tanks should Fix the problem?
I am not convinced, as the Car Ran Perfect before Coil Died. Why would Injectors Suddenly be Dirty?
I think it may be Seals on Injectors or Dirty ISC Unit?
But will Run the Car with 98 and Injector Cleaner asnd see what happens.

similar issue. aux shaft teeth worn to a knife blade and then 4 sheered off under revving.
