when i last took the mondy out i found that when i put my foot on the throttle as if to labour the engine a little it would cut out or splutter, then fire straight back up once off the throttle.

could this be a lamba sensor?

oh yea it's a 1.8 zetec mondy mk2 98

tired disconnectin the maf sensor first?

burnzy

no i haven't it's hardly on the road atm cos of the clutch being gone, i suppose i could take it round the block to check, would i need to disconnect it then see if it's still the same?

edit: i'm not used to all this modern fuel injection deffo need a lesson in the workings give me a carb and i'll strip it and set it all up no prob's give me fuel injection and i'll sit and pull things not having a clue what to do

wirralphil

just disconnect the 3 pin connection then run it round the block, if it's still the same you can rule that out.

burnzy

ok if it's not could it be the lamba noticed it does smell quite rich tbh i haven't been able to give the engine a service yet cos of cash flow but it will soon so hopefully get the list sorted.

cheers for the advice though

Sounds like the MAF sensor.

firstly check your plugs and HT leads. these suffer with tracking/ arking leads.
then check the coilpack.

stop stalling it you big poff

burnzy

it honestly doesn't feel like leads or the like, it's specifically when i labour the engine slightly with the throttle, other than that it doesn't miss a beat and the idle is really smooth so i'd be surprised if it was but all worth a check

can't help it it's my big feet and lack of talent thats getting in the way i'm not used to a big manly car i'm used to my relliant robin, i've gone up in the world, it's got a metal body and i've even got an extra wheel now

i'v tried a choffeur (sp) to cure my lack of talent, but the misses gets angry after being tied to the seat for a day or too

atleast my car has an engine all be it with a slightly slipping clutch
