Baz2004 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Having a slight bit of trouble with my 16V. It’s tends to get a bit jumpy on lift-off over 3000rpm. I’m thinking it could be timing has anyone had a similar problem? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baz2004 0 Posted August 8, 2006 The car acts like its low on fuel, it could be the fuel pump but its pulling well, no hesitation when accelerating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s.g 0 Posted August 8, 2006 if its when you first set off under hard acceleration check all the engine mounts. try giving the engine a good push to see if it will move (making sure its turned off and cold) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz2004 0 Posted August 8, 2006 front mount is fairly new - not sure about the other 2 tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bighands 0 Posted August 9, 2006 check the air box, and pipes for splits, had same thing on mine, split opened up on acceleration closed when it started dying opened up ect ect, took me ages to work out what the hell was going on as it was well hidden!!
