bighands 0 Posted September 15, 2004 It seems when im having a flat out hack, that at 5500ish revs it just kind of mis fires, also noticed it has cut out quite a few times when i red line it in first over the last month or so, any ideas peeps?? :?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 15, 2004 Had exactly the same thing in one of my MK2 16Vs...... it was the fuel pump not delivering enough pressure at high rpm. May not be that on your C but it's a good place to start.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcstudent 0 Posted September 15, 2004 Only if u do the truffle shuffle.... Now there's a Goonies quote! As for your problem, I've just had something similar on my 16v - just as kev says with my car it was down to fuel starvation. The fuel line from the fuel filter had become kinked (no idea how), which only affected the car at higher revs, but boy did it affect it. Not sure how you'd check this, other than visually.

h100vw 0 Posted September 21, 2004 Addition to Kevs post, could be a bad lift pump if there is one fitted. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
destructiv dave 0 Posted September 21, 2004 On my 16v Golf my injectors were really badly clogged and it wouldn't rev past 4.5-5k and would struggle to get up to 70 mph on the motorway on the way back from Inters. It was also really jerky. Just another place to look, but it does sound fuel related. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bighands 0 Posted September 22, 2004 Another random interminint prob in my case i think... hows the easyst way 2 clean injectors? just some cleaner? if so any good advice on what one?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 22, 2004 The best way to clean injectors is put them in an ultrasonic chemical bath, then blast cleaner through until they flow the correct CCs per min again. Commerical cleaners that you stick in the tank do pretty much nothing. Usually costs around £10 to £15 per injector for a decent job, and that would include new nozzle filters.
