16v running issues not wanting to rev or drive!

[cheddarcheese 0]

Hi

 

my corrado has been parked up for a few months, today was mot time last night when i went to drive the car to the mot station as i pulled out of my road lets say i had to put my foot down to get going and if i left my foot on the accelerator it would accelerate then lose power accelerate then loose power ? any ideas? it then did not want to rev and had a bit of a back fire.

 

also when idling if you tried to rev the engine by pushing accelerator down to the floor it would rev then the revs would drop then rev then drop all at different rpm?

 

it also does not want to rev pass 1000-2000 rpm with backfire?

sounds just like what mine did when i cleaned the isv and forgot to plug the wiring plug back in

Could also be the temp switch under the dizzy, try disconnecting it to see if it make any difference, keep us updated.

The backfire makes me think fuelling or timing?

I had a dead ignition coil on mine, wouldn't let me rev past 5000rpm. Might be worth swapping out, I think they're only about £15.

It also sounds like the problem ive had recently. it turned out to be the 'hall sender' inside the dizzy. euros sold me a pattern dizzy for £65 with a blagged CCGB discount today. Car runs like a dream now!

Possibly fuel filter? - I had starting/driving (splutter) problems if I left her standing for a while... changed the fuel filter and the problems disappeared. - take a look underneath and you can probably hazard a guess as to how old this part actually is. If it's rusty (like mine was) - change it!
