dutchboy 0 Posted September 14, 2007 I have a 2.0 16v Rado (1993), recently bought off a guy on here. I love the car to bits but it has a very unusual engine problem. It's intermittent but when i'm giving it some stick say in 4th gear and hit 4000rpm it cuts all power then immediatley comes back in again then it loses it again, and then comes back on again and runs fine for ages. It's not a rev limiter coming in too early as it completley shuts the engine off for literally a second or so. Really weird!! Any ideas? It's not missing or anything like that. Wouldn't be an earthing fault would it? Cheers, Dutch.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Maybe a fueling problem? Think you'll be trying to hunt it down for a while though as it seems to be intermittant :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutchboy 0 Posted September 14, 2007 possibly. Where is the fuel pump located on the car cos i can here a sort of whining noise coming from the car, well it sounds like a pump on it's way out. Would that effect things? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted September 14, 2007 I'll put money on it being the air flow meter... I kid you not - I've been through the whole 'it must be the workings of satan' theories with my valver and it always boiled down to the AFM! Get a decent garage with VAG-COM or similar diagnostics to take a good look and if they fail then call The Phirm for a definitive answer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted November 12, 2007 I dunno what it is about valvers, but i've had 3 with mysterious vibrations between 2.5k and 4k revs. Very annoying! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
