matty golf 0 Posted August 31, 2008 bit of an update changed the fuel prssure regulator for an old used 1 i found got 40 mpg ran fine for a day then cut out and wouldnt start so put the old 1 back on back to miss fire flat spots an 13 mpg got a new 1 over weekend put that on runs fine but only does 16 mpg and cuts out when sat still for 2 long just dont seem to hold revs up isv has been changed and wouldnt cause a miss fire, when engine does come out it seems to puffout some white smoke from around the air box area i have a brand new metering head to put on if i need to n e 1 had this b 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtytorque 0 Posted August 31, 2008 any signs of overfueling? Black exhaust smoke,or sooty spark plugs. Hopefully the 16valve cavalry will be along soon. They are probably making their way home from e38. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
