  1. Hi everyone, Problem solved. Thank's Sunsett. thank's for the help everyone. pulled the firs't spark plug lead off, and it was all white and had big holes in it. car runs beautiful all the time now. :D
  2. Thought i should explain how it started. was driving the car to go and pick up a friend. was sitting out the front of the house with the air-conditioner running [ car was running Beautiful at this stage ] than all of a sudden it just idled down and started missing. From there on in, there has been very bad *****'s while im driving it.
  3. Sorry for the late reply, took the car to roma and back, problem got no worse or better. made it perfectly fine. The idle is not that bad, just a miss every 4 second's or so. When i put my foot on the accelerator, it feels like it loses power until the rev's go up a bit.cruising at 100km/h you don't even know it has a problem.
  4. There is no water mixing with the oil and no steam coming out of the exhaust. does'nt seem to be any bubbles in the radiator. hopefully i figure it out soon. i use to own the older ford's which are known for there head problems. The Apollo is'nt showing any [ Besides heating up a little ]. Thank's, daniel.
  5. Lol, that confirms alot. i was going to say, "This is going to sound stupid, but i can't find the EGR Valve". the little car has a pretty big oil leak to. but i always check it to make sure it's full. hoping there's no deep down engine problems. it gets hot to, bit passed halfway. but the camry just moves up a little bit. i did a radiator flush and bled it, also changed the radiator cap. maybe i should put my time into the camry? only thing is tough it's automatic. i prefer manual's.
  6. Wow, i thought i owned alot of cars. -Holden Camira 1989 [Not a fan] -Suzuki swift Gc 1985 [Good little car, Fuel efficient] -Ford Ea Falcon [Couldn't Kill it, liked it] -Ford Ed Falcon [beautiful car, had to sell it to pay a vet bill :( ] -Ford Ea Fairmont [Have'nt really had much to do with it] -Holden Vp Commodore 1992 [Can't even get it started] -Holden Apollo SLX 1993 [LOVE this car my FAVOURITE] [Current] -Toyota Camry Executive 1994 [same as the Apollo but this one runs better] -Ford Falcon Bf MK2 2006 [Legendary car, has got me through alot with no problems][Current]
  7. Thanking you Big fan of these awesome cars now. i also have a 2006 Bf MK2 Falcon, i use it for travelling more than anyhting though.
  8. Hi again. I most certainly have cleaned those. i will do the plug leads tommorow and see how that goes. it run's beautiful while it is cold, like there is nothing wrong at all. when it is warm, the idle is everywhere. there is also bursts of air coming out of the exhaust. I really like this little car and will do anything i can to get it back to perfect. thank's for the replie's. Also i done the work to try correct the problem. Thank's again.
  9. Hi all, just wondering if anyone could help me out here, when my Apollo warms up a little the engine starts missing. it's also noticeable while driving. the car surges very badly when it's warm. once the speed is up. it's beautiful. the car does not stall, the air-conditioner does not affect it either. Ive changed* *Map Sensor *New spark Plugs *Fuel Filter *Oil filter and new oil *another distributor cap *o2 Sensor *Engine Coolant Temperature sensor. (on the side of the motor) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank's heap's Daniel.
  10. Hey everyone, my name is Daniel, i drive a 1993 Holden Apollo SLX 5 speed manual. It's a bit rough around the edges, paint faded, nice big dent in the boot from previous owner. I have had this little car for just over a year now and it has been brilliant! the car only cost me $70. the previous owner was going to tow it to the dump because the cv Joint was Noisy. It's my Daily driver car. I use it for work/ Camping & fishing. Also Bought a 1994 Camry 4 speed automatic for parts. it runs beautiful. (Only cost me $50) =)
