Sound advice John, but I've already been through it all...

Timing is spot on
Plugs, oil and filters are new
Manifold is the metal VVC one, so no IMG to worry about.


Before I had it apart this time for the CHG, it would easily start and then the idle would go to pot, eventually traced to a bad #2 injector. Still a bit lumpy when cold though.


Now after this CHG change it struggles a bit to start, cold or hot, then settles down when idle stabilisation completes. You can literally have it idling fine, fully warm, then turn it off and immediately struggle to start again.
