any ideas??

when i plant it, it goes fine till boost hits near 1 bar then it splutters and holds back,

any 1 had this problem before??

managment light came on and plugged it in and it said clutch coastin switch inop, so reset that but still does it, and managment light not coming back on..

 

possibly an air leak on the boost hoses or knackered plugs.

have a nosey under the bonnet and check for any loose clamps or obvious problems

Hi

Does it do it when hot or cold???

Mine does it when it is cold....

But i would suggest plugs or leads as it has been known for the spark to be blown out by the boost and hence the mis fire. I had a similar problem with mine but i have put some ITV 24 plugs in and it has been fine..

thanks for the advice

its stopd doing it now,
filled up at tesco earlier and it eventually gave up doing it, so i'm thinking i got some dodgy fuel

 

its doing it again ggggrrrrrrrrr,


might not have been fuel so going to change plugs and leads today when i get chance

 

Hi

I asume you are using high ocatne fuel???

I had this problem before its caused by reduced vacuum in the MAF, usually a side effect of "sock" filters.

 

lmao rick, where have u lot heard am using a sock as a fliter lmfao,

yes i am using high octane, usually shel optimax, but now and again tesco 99 ron,

havnt had chance to change plugs yet, any upgrade plugs recomended??

 

Hi

Get Denso ITV 22's or 24's, it depends on your stage of tune...

std apart from i aint running with any DV

 

FIXED!!

will put pic up later,

number 3 plug was barley existent,
now replaced runs sweet as a nut

 

 

Where has that piece of the plug gone? I assume its fallen out, I wouldn't push it much if I were you, if that section of the plug is still there, could cause a problem in the cylinder.

But then again, it may have crumbed in2 thousands of pieces and blown out the exhaust.

 

i checked bores before putting new plugs in,
nothing there and everything looked ok,

car runs better than ever, i'm thinking its been like it since i piked it up in feb
