Blaklabel313 0 Posted January 29, 2008 ok it could be a few things but heres the list for you to check... air intake system is leaking, eg has a split in it could be the volume air flow sensor(VAF) its on the air box under the round rubber air intake. its a flappy metal disc that moves up and down...could need cleaning or is sticking. sticking throttle or a dodgy throttle position sensor. fuel pump dodgy/ more likely a blocked fuel filter though...situated under the drivers side of car infront of rear wheel...(its a cylinder looking thing..if you just had a service it should be new looking) Try those for starts mate it gets more technical from here on in..lol welcome to valver world.....always a new problem!

nocrap 0 Posted January 29, 2008 If its bogging down my first instinct would be to check for water down the plug holes or in the distributor. If it's happening at a certain rev then it is more than likely ignition/spark related. Either that or they ballsed up the cam change and its a couple of teeth out...but on a valver i would expect that to cause a fluent problem throughout the rev range....

Valerian 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Check (or get someone you trust to check)the mechanical timing. I've come across too many cars that have been running for years with the cambelt a tooth (or even more) out. Bottom (crankshaft) pulley also needs to be checked for tightness.
