Are you sure your EGR solenoid itself is working correctly? I have a carby EA81 but my EGR valve got stuck open and caused a lot of damage to the carby and stuffed my spark plugs. It also caused the exact same behaviour you describe - I was doing battle to get off from a stop because the car would b...

JB Hi Fi did a custom install for me and left the tray underneath as well. I'm ecstatic with the quality of the installation, the only thing was I had to chase them up a few times in the booking process.

Hi all,

From my observations it only happens in stop-start situations where you are slipping the clutch to take off. Once you get back to something like 60km/h mine will drop back below half almost stra...

I also had my eyes on the alternator. The EA81 alternator is much smaller than that.
