.A.N.T. 0 Posted September 12, 2010 Morning all. My 16v is starting to play up a little. Not seen this before and can't find anything on the seach with the same symptoms. Driving along normally, can be any revs from 2000 upwards, and the car feels as though the brake has been tapped. It's as though it engine is stopping just for a fraction of a second and then firing again. Has been doing it quite infrequently for a couple of days now, but is getting more regular now. Yesterday I noticed that the rev counter was now bouncing up an extra 500-1000 revs with each 'cutout' of the engine. This makes me think it could be something electrical. Have checked all leads are tightly screwed down, the earth is solid and I can't find anything loose. Any thoughts on what it could be? Thanks, Ant.

.A.N.T. 0 Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks for the reply... There's no smell of petrol around the engine though... Put some redex cleaner in there and it doesn't seem quite so bad now (kiss of death) so I'll see how it goes... Cheers, Ant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
