    G'day from Perth

    Hi all,
    I'm Ben. I'm a pom living in Perth WA. I bought a Holden Zafira around 3 months ago and i runs like a bag of shit so has been sat on my drive doing nothing.

    I changed the oil and filter, removed and thoroughly cleaned the throttle body (it was covered in think black oily gunk).
    can still runs rough. I idles no problem at all and revs ok if you're really gentle with the throttle, but as soon as you press the pedal a little harder it stutters and holds back like its being choked.

    Any ideas would be massively appreciated. Also it has an oil leak from somewhere but cant really see where its coming from Click here to enlarge

    genuine plugs only. aftermarket will cause issues.

    issue your describing though could be several issues. without seeing the car its very hard to say. could be anything from blocked cat to jumped timing chain
