Big Andy W,

When you remove the fuel filler cap, is there a LOT of suction???

I am thinking that the breather may be blocked

Have you checked the nock sensor???

If you have an 2wd manifold on it then try to tighten the nut, bacause wibrations from the manifold goes right down in the knock sensor

We have met and talked about various things!

We had done a few MOTs on TW's vans a few times and never realised until he said.

On standard but tried 909 things and it didn't cure it!!

does the rev counter piss about when its miss firing ?
When the miss got bad at the pod the rev counter stopped all together but then came back to life on way home since then it just intermittently buggers abouts stops working and then works fine! BUT not during the miss fire as such!!

Fuse box then?
Could be altho was replaced in 98 How long do they last as a rule? or is it a how long is a piece of string senario?

Cheers for the replies boys!!

depends on if your names steve bradford
He was a CHANCER so deserved potting!! I'm far to Skilled for that!!
