At the service they did in January, they hooked up the computer and it didn't return any faults. What a pain. The damn thing drives beautifully but I hate having things like this : :

Dirty or leaking injectors do not show up any codes.

AU's tend to get loosening of the inlet manifold bolts, which gives the same sort of symptoms as a buggered inlet gasket, so it's worth getting a size 10 spanner and giving the ones you can get to a good tightening.

Mine starting doing this when I got an aftermarket exhaust. Haven't been able to work it out yet. I've replaced the coil pack, oxy sensor, plugs and leads so I know they aren't involved.

I was about to say adjust the throttle body stop screw like I did and for me it stopped the rev hang when stopping and all the hesitation disappeared just from a little turn of a screw....after all the new components I replaced ISC TPS coil packs leads plugs hahaha for me it was just a 1/4 turn of the stop screw and she idles and drives beautifully now.. Anyway going to go and check myself into a mental institution now my brain is fried. |

Looks like you've found a vacuum leak.
If you weren't looking for a vacuum leak. Why would you be squirting soapy water on the engine? What did you expect to happen? |

An inlet manifold gasket is a lot cheaper and easier to fix being a $25 job and takes about an hour to replace if you don't know what you are doing. |
