Wayne,
I have rebuilt a VS Ecotec motor after it ran with out oil, the oil pumps on them have a habit of blocking up with crap due to the pick up being right at the bottom of the sump and the size of the pick up is puny. Whats your oil pressure like? The timing, idle and mixture are all controlled by the computer so your problem can't be there. Holden would have (should have???) replaced the spark plugs, leads, checked the coil packs and the like so there shouldn't be probelms there. There isnt much left to go wrong. The crank angle sensors are known to play silly buggers at times. That may be the problem. Then there is the cam angle sensor, two temp sensors, two knock sensors? As many tow drivers have told me when they have been towing my commodore, "If holden didnt make the commodore then i wouldnt have a job"!! Just some idea's? Hope you find the problem.
