Slow to pick up revs??? Occasionally!!!

Recommended Posts

Hi, I have a 1989, 1.8 16v. It runs fine, revving hard upto the red line. Then stop get back in and revs to red line, but gets there ever so slowly, feels like I am pulling a trailer with ten cars on. Stop for two minutes. Start it again and it pulls like a train again? Could this be dirty fuel or dirt in the petrol tank blocking a pipe? Any help much appreciated

digilag? or are the 16v kjet??

 

need to be more precise

 

He did say 1.8 16V = K Jet... :D

 

Suspect thats a fuelling problem - would replace fuel filter and clean out fuel distributor jets....

What is the procedure for cleaning / conditioning the fuel injection system on 1.8 16V engine?

 

O-rings? Nozzels? Jets? -Trip to a specialist?

 

(Not just using jet cleaner in petrol! - I do this occasionally)

 

Is it a big job? Or is there a regular easy routine that anyone uses for keeping their car running smooth?
