Interesting drive back from London

[saysomestuff 0]

Hi all,

 

Pretty much just musing at the mo as there are a hundred things this could be but on the way back from London (to Cardiff) today the old girl was running rough as a badger's ass:

 

Stuttered on the starter for too long before starting

Noticeable flat spot/hesitation between 1k and 2.5k RPM

fuel consumption worse by about 5mpg

engine temp up by about 6 degrees (coolant temp fine)

 

Any ideas?

lead?

Will check the leads - it seemed to me to be a fuelling problem,

 

Anyone else got any ideas?

Lambda probe and blue coolant sensor are classic causes of weird problems like this.

 

Also worth getting the fuel filter changed as that can cause some weirdy running problems as the car isn't being fueled correctly.

grab a blue temp sender from GSF when you can tho mate.....you gotta change them first thing in the morning when the cars cold as fuke....it might save you from buying a set of leads.....just give me a buzz when you need the " garage services "..dont think ive got any plans for la weekend.
