ryan_16v 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Any help on a link Jim.? Had a search 1st but maybe putting wrong words in.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted November 21, 2009 Did you string them together with a + in front of each one..? Search is a bit annoying alas but it works a thousand times better with the +'s in there... so something like: +16v +idle or +KR +cut +out Hope that helps :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_16v 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks Jim, tried those but not coming up with much help. :help: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted November 21, 2009 I'd be checking for air leaks and cleaning out the ISV as my first port of call.. I'm assuming it pulls fine once driving with no hesitancy or stuttering through the revs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't see/hear any air leaks, and gonna clean the isv tomorrow, couldn,t do much with a torch in the dark and chucking down with rain. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turned out to be a static build up in the fuel pump relay ( he just unpluged it and back in again ).?? Anyone else heard of this.? The C just died it would turn over but wouldn't start.?? It has just stopped raining so going out now to clean it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should try to give us as much info as possible so we can try to help you :) It started yesterday after about 1 hours drive and continued to so for about 3hrs. Started up today as if nothing was wrong.? Just cleaned out the isv but tbh is wasn't that bad.?? I suppose i will have to wait and see if it does it again, hope not as it was a right pain in the arse.! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
