ive got a 4x4 cossie that i bought as a runabout for myself.its started playing up in that sometimes it takes a long time to start,then splutters for a bit when you try to rev it up as if its holding back-then sometimes it will clear,or it will stay like that and when you try to drive it,it holds back on acceleration then pulls as it should-as if something is clearing.

ive changed the dist cap/rotor arm/leads.the phase sensor is in good cond.ive tried a map sensor,changed the blue temp sensor,fitted a new inlet man gasket,tried another coil and ign amp.

when it doesnt start it stinks of fuel as if its flooding,but there is a good spark there.

ive checked all the wiring and it all seems fine-would the crank sensor cause such a fault as i havent tried that yet.

its strange as it all seems to have happened since my lad fitted a breather kit to it last weekend,but i cant see anything disturbed/broken.
may be a coincidence.....to say its doing my head in is an understatement-

any ideas anyone........i thank you all in advence

oh yes its supposed to be stage 1 chipped,closed loop map by norris,but thats what i was told....
