splutter.. splutter... bang!

Recommended Posts

I was having problems with my engine 'coughing' (a minor misfire) when it was cold or wet.. only for about the first 5 mins of driving or when I put my foot down. Last Thursday my supercharger blew up - the rocker burst through the casing - nice!

 

Are the two intrinsically linked, or am I going to find after I've had the new supercharger fitted (by G-Man) it's still going to be 'coughing'...

 

... my wallet is now VERY empty :cry:

Darren wouldn't let you go if there was a problem with your motor and he just fitted another charger.

 

Have you mentioned the misfire to him. Better than having him read about it on here.

just spoken with Darren - he says it's the "lambda' valve in the exhaust (oxygen mix?), which overcompensates when the car is cold and dumps fuel into the exhaust sytem. Should be a minor adjustment. Sorted!

(I did have the plugs and leads changed recently, made very little difference at a very high price! bargain!! There was also a crack in my rotor arm which I had replaced)

Plugs are a killer on G60s. Not that you need the info right now but there is usually a fella selling them on ebay for £20 a set. search under W6DPO. The ones you have should last a few years now tho.
