G60 Runing Issues

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I've just bought a G60 from a dodgey guy on ebay without looking at it first. I know, I know stupid me. Not something I would recently do :-).

 

When the car was picked up it ran ok but when the throttle was increased or decreased the revs woudl start bouncing hard. At one point the rev gauge stopped working. The car eventually died on the side of the road. The car did turn over but wouldnt start again. An hour later it started ok.

 

The next day it started ok then the revs died. It would not start again for an hour then it was ok. When it was running it didnt feel right.

 

I don't think it is the chargign system as the car turns over ok.

 

Any thoughts anyone?

 

Thanks

Jason

This could be any number of things but best to start with the basics.

 

1. Make sure there are no air leaks, there are lots of little pipes in and around the inlet manifold that could messing up the running.

2. Set the car up properly using the digifant setup instructions that can be searched for on here or on the net.

3. Check the wiring to the injectors, they can become brittle and expose the core of the wires possibly causing you to flood your engine and hence why it won't start for an hour. Take a plug out immediately after you have the issues and see if any of them are soaked with fuel.
