boost cutting by the sounds of it. new actuator

 

things to look at :

check fuel filter - change if it looks old

does this only happen if the fuel tank is only 1/4 full or lower ? if so, new fuel tank required

check fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose isn't leaking/split

check fuel pump voltage

 

sorted

it was the vac hose from fuel reg. some how it managed to come loose even with clips on each end cheers 4 the help thoug guys roll on coombe

if its a 2wd car you have mate and the vac pipe -fuel reg has come loose

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE HOSE THAT CONNECTS THE REG TO THE RAIL ALSO

MELTDOWN WAITING TO HAPPEN IF ITS SPLIT OR LOOSE TRUST ME !!!!

just make sure you check it too

 

Glad its sorted - will keep an eye out for you at Coombe
