Having problems with spluttering when i put my foot down. Now i believe its the 3 plugs or so that run along the back of the engine. Now ive cleaned them and so on, but still getting the problem......any suggestion!

 

could try new plugs , then phase sensor as the insulation burns off and shorts out i think thats the right name for the sensor in the dizzy ,

 

My 3 door started doing that, i ended up taking it to power engineering and it turned out to be the coil.

 

is it splutterin or banging cos mine was banding and stuff and it turned out it was over boostin and by this time id nakered the head gasket

 

phase sensor/coil - try those first

 

Its spluttering, not had any bangs yet!! When i first cleaned those sensors it had made a difference, but now its re-apeared. So should i try changing the coil??

 

Yeah go for the coil as mine was the same,i got a new coil for Ł10

 

Thanks fella will give it a go! Is it worth me going for a group a coil??

 

Get a group a coil m8 only 30-40 quid.

 

 

Oh yeah and clean your crank sensor too.

 

Group A coil needs new connectors fitting. Just try a regular coil for now.

The phase sensor is in your dizzy. It's like a half-moon magnet with two wires running from it to the top of the cap, ending in a connector. Usually the wires's insulation flake off, and they touch each other and cause these symptoms as well.

 

also my bottom pully came loose so wasnt lined up wit the sensor properly
