Just popped to the shops in the erst. First time its been out in the wet in a few months.

After a few miles and up to temp I got onto the dual carriageway and opened it up a bit. The boost reached about 8psi then the car started juddering followed by 4 massive backfires?

I got a feeling the damp weather is affecting something just no idea what?

 

Hmmm... either ignition system has got damp (plug leads, dizzy, rotor arm, coil) or you've gone lean all of a sudden.
Was it a proper backfire with flames?

 

yeah it was a big back fire with lots of flames. lol

I think something has got wet. Once the engine has covered a few miles its fine. Yet left parked in the rain again for a few hours, fired it up to go home and it did it again after a few miles of driving, then after a few more it ran fine. So once the engine has warmed up its obvisouly dried up the problem.

Must have a bit of moisture getting in somewhere from the rain.

 

Yeah sounds like it mate! lol

 

moisture in dizzy i'd say.

 

Thats what I was looking towards. I had a problem with my last dizzycap letting in moisture.

 

anti lag ? loll

 

lol it was just like anti lag. The people behind didnt seem too impressed with the cloud of soot covering their cars! at least my exhaust is clear!

 

simmiler sort of thing was happening to my car, everynow an then i would give it some shit and it would get to boost and just misfire black smoke out of the echaust, id had eonough by then so i converted to cossie managment
