Hey Phil 6 months ago my car was the same and I did plugs and was about to do leads when an old flying friend and also car mechanic said maybe it is catalytic converter. (my previous cars never had such an item) I removed front end of converter and with hammer and big screwdriver I smashed up the catalytic stuff then sucked it out with vacuum cleaner and bingo it goes up a hill like a V8 AND I can drive from Tamworth to Byron on a full tank of gas and keep driving for a few more days. My friend said no worries with Holden and no catalytic converter as computer does not require same.
