posting on behalf of ginge/b19bal...

when coming to a stop (braking etc) the revs will drop n the car will stall... when this happens/is happening you also get feck all servo assistance to the brakes = v. dodgy!!!

car also misfires a little bit at idle

has new plugs+leads (aparently)

checks done sofar (in petrol station ... lol) this probably means feck all

unplug map sensor multiplug... idle stays the same (no change in engine running)

unplug map sensor vac hose (blocking off with finger) noticeable change in engine running (ie i think the map sensor works)

the breather thingie on the top left of the engine was in v. loose n not sealing good so we put a hubilee clip on that now, however it makes zero difference if this is plugged in etc. (ie it will run fine with a huge leak here) but i asume thats coz its MAP based yeah?

any ideas for the orange haired one?

ps this is a mk4 cabriolet with a 1600 CVH EFI engine (ala XR2i)
