I noticed the plugs arnt black on the electrode or pins just around the bottom of the thread, it's popping and stuttering badly under acceleration now but fine at idle, mpg is ok and dosent reak of fuel. All the electrical side of things bar the ignition module and ecu has been replaced, metering head swapped and new lambda. Would the pumps or accumulator be a cause or am I looking in the wrong place?

Glad someone ppl are getting somewhere with there issues, Mines only getting worse. I tried swapping out the metering head and that made next to no difference :( still stuttering under acceleration and black plugs. Pump and accumulator is last on the list it looks like, is there anything iv missed? What about the sensors at the back of the air box, are they maf sensors?

Thanks dude, wasn't aware of this. I swapped out my metering head yesterday hoping this would be the cause of my over fueling. My plugs are still caked black and its stuttering like crazy under acceleration :( I think replacing the accumulator Is my next step, not sure what else to try after that........ Is there any other possible causes on the fueling side of things? Good luck with yours

Anyone?

I'm looking to replace my fuel pressure regulator with a new one to see i this is the cause of my fueling issues. Just wondering if anyone has used a adjustable FPR on a 9a before? Is there any problems fitting one along side the metering head? Or is there any aftermarket types? Seems like VW is the only place to go otherwise and they cost a pretty penny! Any help or advice apricated :) thanks.

Fitted a BOSCH kr coil in the end from GFS, worked a treat :) part number is 0 221 122 399

Nice looking blackberry at the heath roundabout (lady driver) then a yellow c heading into southampton on the M271 :) some good spots on wednesday!

Aqua blue with wight rims in totton yesterday at about 8pm ish :) EDIT : oooops! Think iv been brain washed lol. White ;)

Sorted :) thanks very much.

Pics look good! Thanks. As long as theres no cracks or splits anywhere its a done deal. Just let me know a time and place and il come pick up :) Dom

Awesome :) pm me some details please mate.

its ok, iv finally stoped crying now..... haha with that lingo you must be a shirley boy! i lived in freemantle last year with my x but im back in boaring old hythe again. you planning on moveing back down this way after graduation? theres quite a few design engineer jobs popping up around the south at atm if thats what you where going for? be good to see the plum out and about! not seen another corrado for a good few months now! ---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ---------- still looking for a for a splitter if anyone would be so kind.

Thanks for yet another demeaning post jon lol im sure the "scene police" will be on your tail soon if you dont do somthing with that plum of yours. Breeze or peter cooper as they are now known only stock 90mm splitters which are £140 + vat :( your hood! Thought you where an oxford boy? Still looking.........

Thanks paul, might be my lambda is iv just fitted a new one and its not genuin. Could your problem be to do with fueling? Possibly fuel pump?

Still looking if anyone has one? Not managed to get down to vw to find out if there still stocking them or not, any 100% on them being obsosete?

As title Im after a 50mm front splitter if anyone has one or knows of one for sale? The road has eaten my 90mm! :( Thanks.

how did everyone get on that had problems if youv had time to have a fiddle? I ended up checking the ht leads, distributor, rotor arm, plugs, timing, cleaning and checking all the sensors on the metering head, cleaning the distributor and sensor, checking all vacuum connections gaskets, cleaning the throttle and making sure the micro switch works and lastly spraying vacuum and electricals with some wd40. I also found that where the metering head separates from the top section of the air box was loose so i tightened up the 6 hex bolts to seal the gasket up again. one of these things has made a big difference anyway! lol

Iv replaced all the ht leads, coil, spark plugs, dizzy, rotor armand checked the timing but the problem still persists. Injector seals where done not too long ago either and i ran some cleaner through them arter. It only stutters when pressing really lightly on the throttle, could this be intake or fueling? Spark plugs are black after driving for a few days. Maybe lambda? Any ideas would be brill. Thanks.

Could this be a coil isue?

Mines been in use all winter.

Hi all, iv been having progressive stutter problems with the valver lately. When im pressing lightly on the throttle it will lurch quite badly and then as the engine starts to warm it will bog down al the low reves, seems fine at high revs. I took a look at the plugs and there quite black around the bottom of the threads and the exhaust seems quite black lately too, not seen any smoke from the back or anything tho. I guessing this is oil getting in the cylinders past the rings after the long cold winter. Just after some advice on wether this is or is not the problem and where to go from here really. Thanks, Dom

Spotted a nice red c traveling towards fawley on the A326 early this morning, looked lovely of what i could see of it in the dark. Yellow headlights 8)

Followed a nice looking L reg corrado down the A326 heading for the M27 at about 6 am yesterday. Never seen it before.
