tornado red 0 Posted February 12, 2004 i have an intermittant problem with my corrado 18 16v, about once a week it'll cut out, only when warm and then fail to start untill it has cooled down ( 20mins-half an hour) i've changed the dizzy cap, rotor arm, leads and plugs and this seemed to help, it still cut out but it started again within 5-10 mins. Any ideas? I've been told it could be the hall sensor on the dizzy?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 12, 2004 Next time it cuts out.....give the idle valve a clout and I think you'll find it will then restart :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tornado red 0 Posted February 15, 2004 the car cut out again yesterday, tried what u said and the car still didn't start, it tries to go but just isn't catching, anyway called out the r.a.c and he said he usd to work with volkswagon and he would recomend changing the distributor (with hall sensor) as the 16 valvers are bad for them, so i've got one on the way and hopefully this will sort the problem.
